Edgewood at Wollongong, NSW
Edgewood Estate, a 40-hectare residential estate in the northern Wollongong suburb of Woonona, NSW, was originally a clay quarry and brick making operation prior to being purchased by Village Building Co.
The community of around 700 homes includes a diverse range of housing types such as detached homes, townhouses, apartments and seniors’ living.
After a century of brick making, the site was severely degraded and required considerable restoration before development could commence.
Environmental initiatives include:
- Recycling over 250,000 tonnes of material for use in the development.
- Restoration of creeks.
- Reduction of downstream storm water run-off problems.
- Development of landscaped recreational areas for the benefit of community residents.
