Design of a 900 lot residential Masterplan for Geelong’s
former Fyansford Bluestone quarry in support of a
Scheme Amendment Initiation by the proponent. The
design was derived from the site contour interpretation
focussing on key elements of the quarry project.

These elements comprised:

• deriving a marketing theme from the origins of
  the quarry and to extend that into the design;
• extracting residential value from the views upon
  descending into the quarry;
• responding to minimal cut and fill balance;
• utilising the quarry walls for aspect and a focus of
  estate presentation;
• creating a variety of lot types with different aspect;
• extending linkages to the river through the part
  removal of eastern abutment and the use of
  water and landscape features including
  application of WSUD; and
• creating an internal road hierarchy through the
  quarry that focuses attention on quarry wall
  elements and enables a circuitous route around
  the estate.
