Key capital works

Carss Bush Park Foreshore Naturalisation Project Stages 2 and 3

The final two stages of the Carss Bush Park foreshore has resulted in one of the best examples of foreshore eco-engineering in Australia. This project is the culmination of ongoing research and development into seawall construction with the intent of increasing foreshore habitat through innovative design. This foreshore enhancement project will not only yield benefits to the environment, but increase the aesthetic, social, educational, and cultural value of the Carss Park foreshore.

Myles Dunphy Boardwalk

Construction of an elevated boardwalk in Myles Dunphy Reserve has improved accessibility to the reserve while minimising impacts on remnant natural wetland. This boardwalk enables walkers to enjoy even more of the natural beauty of lower Myles Dunphy Reserve while improving movement in Oatley.

Dover Park East pontoon

Dover Park East pontoon is used by boaters, including disabled sailors of Sailability NSW. Pontoon slope and water depth issues due to sedimentation resulted in boaters being unable to regularly use the infrastructure. We installed a longer gangway and moved existing infrastructure outside the impact zone.

Cromdale Street drainage upgrade

We duplicated the existing stormwater drainage culvert across Cromdale Street at Dairy Creek, Mortdale to alleviate flooding of upstream properties along Cromdale Street.

Gannons Park water quality improvement and stormwater harvesting scheme

We improved the quality of stormwater discharging to the Georges River, addressing erosion and localised flooding, creating enhanced habitat and amenity, and harvesting the treated stormwater to irrigate the eight sport fields in upper Gannons Park. This has reduced potable water use and reactivated the lesser used lower areas by creating a new accessible shared path and cycled way. This is a significant upgrade of public open space and provides a new identity for the park.

Amenities building projects

Peakhurst Park amenities building

We constructed a new sports amenity building at Peakhurst Park to service the new synthetic sports field. The configuration incorporates all design elements consistent with Football NSW Guidelines. Extensive consultation was with the St George Football Association and clubs ensured the building meets the growing needs of the sporting community in the years ahead.

Charles Pirie Reserve inclusive sports amenities building

Charles Pirie Reserve is the home of the Carss Park Football Club and the special needs program, St George Warriors. The program is an innovative, equal access community initiative which provides a fun, inclusive and social environment for players and their families to participate in a modified team format.

Riverwood Park soccer and league amenities buildings

The project was located in Riverwood Park, Riverwood frontage on Coleridge Street. The works included the refurbishment of both sporting amenities to include change rooms, canteens, and storage areas.

Poulton Parks netball amenities building

The new Poulton Park netball and public amenities building has an extended roof line for additional shelter, a netball storage room, public amenities, accessible toilet, and nappy change area.

Gannons Park sports amenities building

To complement the sportsfield upgrade at Gannons Park, we upgraded the Gannons Park sports amenities block which had reached the end of its serviceable life. The amenities block now accommodates two sporting clubs and includes two canteens, storage, home and away change rooms for both clubs and public toilets.

Harold Fraser Oval Clubhouse

Extensive consultation with all sporting codes and clubs informed development a new building that will incorporate all sporting guidelines, design principles, and meet the growing needs of each sporting association and club.

Sports field projects

Gannons Park sports fields upgrade

We completed the resurfacing, drainage and irrigation of eight regional soccer fields and five cricket fields (an area of 80,000m2). This upgrade has provided the community with a premium sports facility for organised sport that attracts players and users from across the St George district including schools, sporting clubs (soccer, cricket and Oztag).

Poulton Park synthetic sports field

This represents the design, construction and installation of a full-size FIFA-accredited playing field and a training field. The facility will be used for football training and competition up to and including State league, for local clubs and schools and also for recreational use by the community.

Beverly Hills sportsfields resurfacing, irrigation and drainage

Heavy usage from a range of sports had compacted the field and it was in a poor condition after each season. This alleviated issues with wet soils with drainage. The resurfacing of the field and installation of irrigation will ensure the longevity of a quality sporting oval.

Olds Park Field 2 resurfacing, irrigation installation and drainage design/construction

This project renewed a valuable multi-purpose field through the installation of irrigation and drainage and the resurfacing of this 18,000m2 area. This will enhance the capacity of the field to withstand the extensive use it receives.

It is sensitive to the bushland setting and constructed primarily from natural materials. It includes nature-based play elements and new picnic facilities.

The Interactive Water Play element of Hurstville Central Plaza aims to add vibrancy and colour to the Hurstville CBD and provide a learning experience for young children. Children can learn about cause and effect, and water pressure and water flow without through play interactions. The water play feature also generates interaction between children which teaches cooperation and teamwork.
