This project was very complex involving dams which were not wanted by DIPNR, but required to be retained by council. The council adopted Master plan for the site was flawed in a number of areas, which did not ensure ease of passage through Council.

The site included the upper reaches of an un named tributary of the Nepean River, hence the interest of DIPNR.

Telstra had an optical fiber cable draped across part of the site, which when it was uncovered required a redesign of the storm water out let system.

Despite the difficulties and complexities including neighbour relationships, the project was finally finished and represents a quality and visually pleasing development.
