Site constraints
We have to consider a number of different factors when developing this site. There are a number of constraints that affect how we can develop the area such as:
- vehicular traffic on Shute Road
- distance from the main shopping area
- Richmond Road is 6 meters higher than Shute Road
- buried underground services
- need to protect existing trees
- historical demolitions/unknown ground conditions
- environmental consideration
- existing buildings
