November 2020
Charter Keck Cramer’s Projects team recently conducted a Residential Land Subdivision on 413-439 Minns Road, Kurunjang.
Property Background
413-439 Minns Road is a part of the Little Blind Creek Residential Development located in the developing suburb of Kurunjang, a 45 minute drive from Melbourne’s CBD and easily accessible via the Western Freeway.
Charter’s Civil Engineering team was engaged to prepare a development feasibility, infrastructure strategies and negotiated servicing conditions with authorities and service providers. Some notable key design challenges were to balance earthworks throughout the entire stage of the project, which consists of 106 lots, and to design and construct the delivery of the development in one stage.
As well as delivering the infrastructure works, the team worked closely with council to design and maintain stormwater quality prior to discharging stormwater into Little Blind Creek.
The project has been completed and expecting title release in November.
