Kanimbla Heights Estate Stage 24,

Cairns, QLD

​

​

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.

Karumba Seawall

Karumba, QLD

​​

​

The project was for the construction of a concrete seawall with rock armoured toe. The project was constrained by the natural habitat, in that extreme care was required to reduce the impact on the mangroves and local environment and negotiate marine plant offsets where this could not be avoided.

 

This project was particularly challenging as there were significant latent conditions with significant voids and additional instability identified throughout the construction phase as the old concrete was removed for replacement.

 

This required tight scope and cost management to ensure the project was delivered within the allocated budget.
