Yarra bend

Project Name: Yarrabend Housing Development

Client: CSC Civil Constructions

Location: Alphington, Victoria

Developed by Glenvill, ‘Yarrabend’ occupies the former Amcor Paper Mill site in Alphington, which is within the City of Yarra on a 16.5 hectare parcel of land located on the corner of Heidelberg Road and the Chandler Highway, extending down to the Yarra River.

It was acquired after Amcor stopped paper recycling operations at the site in late 2012.
Yarrabend is expected to provide all of the elements a solid suburb should, like retail offerings, a specialty retail hub, apartments, townhouses and traditional house blocks. Yarrabend will also benefit from a proposed new shopping centre and community facilities delivered by others on the broader Paper Mill site.

On behalf of the Major Contractor delivering the civil works, CSC Civil Constructions, Progress Surveying was involved in the setout of all aspects of civil works, including but not limited to the outfall drainage system to the yarra river.
Other tasks included feature surveys, volume calculations and delivering machine guidance files.
