Our Challenge
Our challenge was to convert a disused industrial site, clay-pit, drive-in cinema and rubbish tip into an exciting residential community, river marina and some 30 hectares of new regional open space.
Our vision for Ascot Waters, our multi-award winning project in Perth, was to create a unique subdivision using the principals of new urbanism in a riverine environment. To do this, we would need to connect the Swan River to a 100-boat marina and inland waterway.
Our Solution
Our solution considerate of the many environmental issues, was to reclaim and process unconsolidated fill, including old clay tiles and clay pipes, to be reused for road base material onsite, reducing the disposal of waste to landfill.
