Kanimbla Heights Estate, Cairns

Kanimbla Heights Estate has been a multi-stage subdivision which started in 2001 as a masterplan through to the successful delivery up to Stage 24 currently under construction.  The site is located at the foothills of the Macalister Range located in the Wet Tropic area.  An average of over 2m of rain per year falls on the area and is directed under the subdivision in a series of drainage networks to ensure the maximum protection of residents from inundation.

​

The lots have been engineered to maximise their exposure to the prevailing, cool breezes by elevating them in a concertina pattern up the slopes, in effect, creating a fan shape.  Most of the elevated sites proffer sweeping views to the chrystalline views of the skyline of Cairns City and beyond across the Coral Sea through to Green Island.

ERSCON have closely worked with FGF Developments to ensure the

challenges presented by this site have been effectively addressed.

​

The resolution of water management issues, the excavation of rock

out crops and slope stability issues have been resolved using honest

communication, engineering experience and practical knowledge.
