The Kauri Parade Community and Sporting Precinct is one of the City of Holdfast Bay’s three main hubs for sport and recreation. Approximately 3 hectares in size, the precinct provides both open space and structured sporting facilities and is home to several sporting, recreation and community groups, including Seacliff Hockey Club, Seacliff Tennis Club, Seacliff Sport Club and Holdfast Bay Music Centre. BMD was engaged through an early contractor involvement model to design and construct the public infrastructure project, which allowed our project team to optimise the design in all aspects including constructability.

Complete

BMD has proven to be a very professional team to deal with and has provided a solution which met the Principal’s Requirement Brief under challenging geotechnical and environmentally sensitive site conditions. We commend you on achieving the completion of the project ahead of the scheduled opening date, allowing the tennis club access to the courts which was a very pleasing outcome for the club and for Council. We look forward to working with BMD again in the future.

Outcomes

The complex earthworks on contaminated land were performed with no noise, dust, or water contaminants leaving the site or affecting workers or the public.
