Featuring a multi-functional town square and main street, a new library, council customer-service centre, a refurbished youth centre and interactive public art spaces Aldinga District Centre has reinvigorated the community whilst improving passive security and increasing main-street appeal.
FMG Engineering’s close client contact yet worry-free process allowed City of Onkaparinga to focus on maintaining positive community support throughout the planning stages which resulted in the successful purchase of the required land to make the project possible.
Our comprehensive knowledge of the site, public requirements and integrated service allowed our client to value engineer their project plans to reduce costs.
Civil Design
A unique civil design was developed to activate and enrich the public realm whilst minimising the engineering and associated works – This saved our client from costly infrastructure changes.
The new Town Square reflects the coastal lifestyle of the community. The design seamlessly incorporates the existing infrastructure whilst providing provisions for future works – Resulting in lower costs for future projects.
Environmental Remediation
Effective environmental remediation allowed for an existing “dump” site to be transformed into a vibrant communal meeting space that now connects the community with surrounding facilities and increases the utilisation of council amenities.
Benefits
- The uniquely civil design vehicle and pedestrian areas achieved the client’s aesthetic vision and reduced the engineering requirements and costs.
- Environmentally sympathetic Water Sensitive Urban Design improves the carpark stormwater runoff to maintain the green areas and reduce waste and pollution
- Tailored remediation decreases environmental pollution by re-purposing an illegal dumping zone
- New “main street” was designed to work with the existing structures and facilitate future growth to maintain community satisfaction.
