Case Studies

Highfields Sport and Recreation Park (HSRP) provides new sporting facilities for the high community growth in and around Highfields. HSRP will have five rectangular fields, four multi-purpose courts, a clubhouse, and amenities. Stage 2 is part of a stage government Get Playing Plus program with an estimated cost of $10,000. Kehoe Myers Consulting Engineers’ involvement was for the detailed design documentation of Stage 2 civil works for council construction crews. The design was to neatly tie into the previous Stage 1 site and to a new road at the eastern end of the development. We also offered to be involved during the construction phase to assist the council further. The detailed design involved road works, car parking and stormwater drainage infrastructure. Additional works included all axillary service to the park and buildings, sewerage, water supply, irrigation and electrical reticulation and lighting. Design and documentation were completed through full engagement with the council’s project team and successful and timely outcomes were achieved to match their construction time frames. Many issues were overcome to achieve full DDA compliance throughout the park, as well as full achievement of revised stormwater quality and quantity objectives.
