Pacific Dunes

GHD Newcastle provided storm water management advice and design to the development of an 18-hole championship golf course at Medowie in Port Stephens.

The Pacific Dunes development included an 18-hole championship golf course, sporting facilities, tourist accommodation and integrated residential housing for more than 400 people.

GHD's design included bio-retention areas, swales and constructed wetlands to provide storm water treatment for the residential development areas and the roadways within the golf course.

The design and implementation of the Pacific Dunes storm water system illustrates that urban development can occur adjacent to significant ecological areas.
