Finally finished earthworks at our Myrtelford Worker’s accomodation site….and I thought Beechworth was challenging - with all the rock and the shared private sewer main that NE Water had hover over while we scratched through granite!
The fall on this Myrt site is very deceiving and given we also need disabled parking and disabled pedestrian access, managing the fall has been excruciating for the design team and we’ve reworked it dozens of times.
The result is three split level for both dwellings and over 2000m3 of top soil with retaining walls. Was able to work with another local developer to achieve a more cost effective soil supply solution and reduce retaining walls by over 1/2 across by joining three adjoining sites and a bit of hustling…to achieve an innovative win/ win for everyone. Also got a few loads of top soil from a local pool installer! The build should really get going now.
