Waterline Bulimba
Wolter Consulting Group played a key consultancy role in Mirvac’s Waterline project on former industrial land at Bulimba’s riverfront. This project comprised 126 detached houses and 18 apartments within a parkland setting along a 350 metre stretch of the Brisbane River.
In its capacity as consultant town planners and surveyors, Wolter Consulting Group played a key role in establishing and advancing the planning and design framework through the development application process.
This framework included a design guidebook which provided certainty for the community in terms of built form outcomes and addressed Council’s design, siting and privacy requirements. The framework accommodated market and purchaser flexibility in terms of internal layout, materials and design detail.
The planning approval therefore maximised flexibility for the developer to best match products to client needs and to respond to market conditions as different products peaked in popularity at different times throughout the life of the project.
Wolter Consulting Group adopted a creative approach to development strategy and problem solving, including input to: Successful negotiation and delivery of the small central park which created local amenity and brought increased value to those parts of the site which did not enjoy direct river aspect. Staging the project to enable cashflow and provide a ‘bank guarantee’ to Council for delivery of the park by way of linking this deliverable to a latter stage of the development.
