The master planning of the site was completed by an independent Senior Urban designer with the assistance of Orion and independent traffic planning advice. The amendment to the ILP, along with other boundary interface issues, were required to be addressed through the Land and Environment Court process. The development team were able to successfully settle outside of a final court determination, thereby expediting the DA approval process.
Orion worked with the adjoining developers and consultants to prepare a consolidated drainage plan that considered the proposed catchment variation and ultimately obtained approval from Blacktown Council.
Orion engaged early with RMS during the planning phase to ensure that the intent for Garfield Rd East was considered within the Orion concept design, resulting in RMS approval prior to lodging the Development Application. Similarly, the early assessment of risks associated with the relocation of the Endeavour HV transmission line meant that a clear strategy for its removal and relocation could be established and executed. The subsequent release of the easement did not result in any delays to the Subdivision Certificate process.
Orion undertook the access management, design, construction and restoration of the sewer lead-in infrastructure. Works were able to commence in advance of the subdivision works, thereby reducing the risk of multiple contractors and ensuring that there was no risk to the final approval from Sydney Water.
