Sandhurst Club

This project is another which contains two championship golf courses together with approximately 1850 residential dwelling sites, golf club house and other community facilities including a tennis club, pre school and infant welfare and child minding facilities.

PGA has been involved from the outset of the project including the identification of and assistance with acquiring the land suitable for its intended use.

Located immediately north of the existing Carrum Downs residential area, within the Green Wedge Land surrounded by Wedge Road, Taylors Road, Thompsons Road and McCormicks Road, its 305 hectares of land -

• Is traversed by a Melbourne Water Main Drain, the Eastern Contour Drain.
• Its upstream catchment of approximately 2000 hectares creates wetland inundation during the wetter months of the year but this provides opportunity for holding water in lakes and using the water resource for irrigation purposes.
• Was well located for successful rezoning as it was adjacent to existing infrastructure that could be extended or augmented with reasonable cost to make the land affordable, since approximately 50% of it is to be used for golf course construction.

PGA -
• worked very closely with Melbourne Water and other Service Authorities prior to and during the rezoning phase for this land and an excellent outcome has prevailed.
• Was part of a multi-disciplinary project team on this project.
• Took the lead role as principal consultant and has been largely responsible for the rezoning of this land.
• Worked closely with the golf course architect on the project — Thomson Wolveridge and Perrett, a well established Melbourne Practice.
• Undertook detailed engineering design, documentation and surveying for internal works and the major external road, drainage and sewer works.
• Was responsible for the project management, contract administration, urban design, and obtaining the complex planning permit.
