Oak Grove

Project Overview

Oak Grove is a 1,400-lot masterplanned community located within the Clyde North Precinct Structure Plan (PSP). Spanning over 92 hectares, the development delivers a high-quality residential environment seamlessly integrated with expansive green spaces, wetlands, and critical infrastructure.

Drainage outfall constraints required a rethinking of conventional development sequencing. BW’s early planning and innovative engineering solutions enabled bulk earthworks to begin ahead of formal approvals, accelerating the program. Our project management and planning teams played a crucial role in navigating stages during periods of authority-related delays, ensuring delivery remained on track and maintaining project momentum.

Work Undertaken

BW delivered multidisciplinary consultancy services, including:

• Civil Engineering Design: Residential and external infrastructure design, including extensive land filling and site shaping.
• Construction Management: Delivery oversight to maintain program, scope, and quality.
• Project Management: Stakeholder coordination and strategic planning.
• Landscape Architecture: Design and management of wetlands, waterway corridors, reserves, and conservation zones.
• Water Resources Engineering: Design of wetland retarding basin and waterway, within two Melbourne Water DSS.
• Traffic & Transport Engineering: Design of a major signalised intersection and supporting traffic modelling.
• Environmental Assessment: Site hydro testing, Environmental Audit Overlay rehabilitation, and conservation zone management.
• Urban Design: Creating a cohesive, attractive community layout that maximises site potential and lifestyle outcomes.
• Town Planning: Planning: provided strategic planning advice to maximise developers’ value.

Key project features included:

• Major bulk earthworks and land shaping across the site
• Construction of a sewer pumping station and associated infrastructure
• Integrated wetland, retarding basin and waterway systems
• Conservation zone planning and environmental rehabilitation
• Delivery of a key signalised intersection enabling site access and broader network integration.
