Description
Parkside Berrimah is a 58-lot residential estate. The estate masterplan is designed to create an exclusive ‘enclave’ neighbourhood around a central park.
The estate forms part of the Berrimah North Area Plan and is the first development that will be subject to Infrastructure Contributions paid by the Developers to NTG to facilitate the overall development of headworks under the Area Plan.
The estate first obtained a Development Permit in 2016, however development never progressed due to cost prohibitive drainage infrastructure. Louw Group, as the Development and Project Managers of the estate, identified an opportunity to connect stormwater infrastructure to the future infrastructure in Boulter Road (currently being slated for upgrade).
Louw Group has represented the Developers in negotiating with the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics to bring forward future stormwater infrastructure works under a “Infrastructure Contribution” arrangement.
Louw Group has facilitated the amendment of the Development Permit and the redesign of the infrastructure to reduce the number of lots (creating larger lots), and allow for stormwater infrastructure that connects to the infrastructure in Boulter Road developed under a contribution by the Developers.
