Located 20 minutes north of Christchurch, the Ravenswood subdivision development spans 150 hectares with almost 25 hectares reserved for commercial and light industrial use. Notable tenants are New World, McDonald’s, and BP. Serving a 1,350-lot residential area and the Pegasus-Woodend community, DO offered comprehensive multi-disciplinary services for this significant project.
Our partnership with Ravenswood started in November 2014 with Stage 1. Commercial stage followed in February 2016, and Stages 1 and 2 completed in April 2018 and July 2019. Stage 2 finished in February 2021. Responding to the client’s request, we allocated resources to fast-track Stages 3 to 6. Stage 3 design began in August 2020, with sub-stages completed in May, October, and November 2021. Stage 4 design began in June 2021, expected to finish in August 2022. Stage 5 nears completion, while Stage 6 is in the approval phase, with construction planned for 2023-24.
Collaborating with Ngāi Tūāhuriri, Waka Kotahi, Environment Canterbury, and others, stakeholder involvement was crucial. The project’s consultation resulted in non-notified stormwater discharge consents, avoiding costly proceedings.
Due to the cultural and ecological significance of the site, a detailed archaeological assessment was required, with cultural monitors present during all excavations. Ecological surveys and fish relocations were undertaken, and continuous instream and groundwater monitoring sites set up. The external services crossed State Highway 1 which required consultation with Waka Kotahi.
Partnering with Ngāi Tūāhuriri, water quality protection measures were implemented, addressing iron-enriched groundwater and developing Erosion and Sediment Control Plans.
Our involvement in Ravenswood demonstrates our expertise in integrated solutions, collaboration, and addressing challenges. We’re committed to sustainable projects that enhance communities and promote prosperity.
