Te Whāriki Subdivision
This 350-Lot subdivision in Lincoln required numerous challenges to be addressed during the design and construction phases, and offers residents more than just a home.
A former horticultural site on the southern side of the Manukau Harbour that was investigated for contamination then remediated as per local, regional, and national guidelines.
Site investigations found the following issues:
The site also contained stockpiles of soil and demolition material, including asbestos, from another former horticulture site, which was illegally dumped on the site by a previous developer.
Stockpiled material was separated based on contaminant concentration and presence of asbestos fragments to minimise disposal costs to managed fill and landfill. Concrete and tyres were also removed for separate disposal.
A site validation report was submitted to Council confirming that the site was suitable for the proposed development. Civil works and building construction have since been completed.
