This stage focused on enabling infrastructure, including external roadworks and a signalised intersection upgrade on Napper Road, internal roads, bulk earthworks, stormwater drainage, and services reticulation.
Project value has been adjusted to reflect approximate current-day value as at 2025, based upon industry recognised construction indexation published by Rawlinson.
This stage focused on enabling infrastructure, including external roadworks and a signalised intersection upgrade on Napper Road, internal roads, bulk earthworks, stormwater drainage, and services reticulation.
Strict environmental controls included erosion and sediment management, water quality monitoring and acid sulphate soil treatment throughout the project.
The project maintained tree protection zones within known koala habitat areas and worked with wildlife specialists to safely relocate a koala while maintaining fauna monitoring controls.
A specialised dewatering methodology was developed to relocate fish and turtle populations from the existing dam before its relocation and reconstruction.
A major water main upgrade and live connection to existing infrastructure required close coordination with statutory authorities.
External roadworks and signalised intersection upgrades were completed under live traffic conditions, including night works undertaken under police control.
Construction was undertaken adjacent to active community facilities, including the golf club and the Gold Coast Titans training facility.
More than 2,000 tonnes of unsuitable material were removed and 4,000 tonnes of imported rock were used to improve ground conditions and line the new dam.
The project team navigated two significant flood events in 2022, alongside challenging groundwater conditions and extensive acid sulphate soil remediation requirements.
This stage focused on enabling infrastructure, including external roadworks and a signalised intersection upgrade on Napper Road, internal roads, bulk earthworks, stormwater drainage, and services reticulation. Additional works included dam relocation, bus stop construction, and hard and soft landscaping.
Environmental management was a critical component of the project. Alder implemented stringent erosion and sediment controls, water quality monitoring, and acid sulphate soil treatments. A tailored dewatering solution was designed for the existing dam, with fish and turtles relocated to a nearby water body. Tree protection zones were maintained within known koala habitats, and wildlife experts assisted in relocating fauna safely. The team also managed major water main upgrades and live connections under strict coordination with authorities.
Delivery was achieved despite two significant flood events in 2022 and challenging groundwater conditions. Over 2,000 tonnes of unsuitable material were removed, and 4,000 tonnes of imported rock were placed to stabilise ground conditions and line the new dam. Works were completed adjacent to operational facilities, including the golf club and Gold Coast Titans training ground, under live traffic conditions and night works with police control.
