Holmes Dyer was engaged to seek the rezoning of an 11.4 hectare parcel of land at Brompton (adjacent to Bowden Village) to facilitate medium to high density residential and mixed use development.
Holmes Dyer coordinated the input of numerous sub-consultants addressing site contamination and remediation, service infrastructure, stormwater, traffic and transport, and conducted comprehensive investigations into urban form, overshadowing, overlooking, open space development, streetscapes and cross-sections. We prepared three dimensional models to demonstrate how impacts on surrounding land would be mitigated through heigh and setback controls. The outcome involved the potential yield of some 1,300 dwellings and commercial floorspace from the site, utilising a combination of townhouses, small lot houses and low-medium rise apartments. The master plan was modelled in three dimensions.
Holmes Dyer set up the rezoning process which was subsequently taken over by Council but utilising much of the research and policy formulation by Holmes Dyer. We subsequently prepared applications for some 900 apartments and townhouses across 5 of the large sites, involving preparation of concept plans, designs, and supporting documentation. These concepts strongly aligned with the master plan prepared for the site.
