Environmental Partnership undertook landscape and visual assessment as part of precinct planning for the Calderwood urban development. 

The Calderwood masterplan was developed across a collaborative urban design team forum involving a range of specialist disciplines and the Lend lease Communities team. In addition to this assessment an open space and landscape masterplan was prepared along with concept design for a stage 1 development area.

The Calderwood masterplan was developed to assess the visual characteristics for the new development which proposed a mix of residential, employment, retail, education, conservation and open space uses. The report was successful in recording valuable information about visual impacts from new developments and helped guide a thoughtful planning approach by analysing distinctive site characteristics.

More information about Calderwood and its development can be found on the Shellharbour City Council website.
