CHESTER HILL – Miller Road, Chester Hill NSW
The subdivision at Miller Road, Chester Hill delivered 1 industrial lot and a residential englobo lot with a current community title subdivision for 181 residential lots ranging in size from 200sqm to 418sqm. Average of 267sqm.
The vision, design and construction of the site ensured that the existing street patterns and mix of housing types found within the surrounding residential areas were maintained. The focus of the subdivision was always to ensure the application of ecologically sustainable development principles from decisions concerning energy or water use, water generation and reduction, stormwater use and protection, biodiversity enhancement and transport. The approach was able to create meaningful and useful exterior spaces, activity nodes and human scale activated streets and pedestrian paths.
The building forms and road layouts allowed for and enhanced views to and from the site, whilst ensuring optimum solar orientation for a maximum number of residences and open space areas.
Various landscape features were provided within the development to encourage pedestrian usage of the streets and pathways.

9 Nirimba Drive, Quakers Hill
Key elements of development
The development comprises of a residential development that will deliver 237
apartments within two five-storey buildings over basement parking.
The site has been formulated to grasp the multitude of layers existing on the site: from the
sharpness of the parkway and the rail line to the softness of the bushland and the creek.
KANNFINCH managed to transform the site into a project that complements its setting
and establish the base for a future community to thrive.
The approved proposal is for an integrated courtyard building sharing an underground
car park with two mirrored L shaped components arranged around a central square.
The square provides a central area of common open space, with substantial separation.
The approach is to incorporate the urban bushland area to the West of the site. Further
focusing on the pedestrian link with the railway and the Nirimba Education Precinct.
Quakers Hill is home to HMAS Nirimba naval base. It is also home to numerous schools
and education institutions. Post-secondary education is serviced by Nirimba TAFE and
the University of Western Sydney, which are part of the Nirimba Education Precinct.
Wyndham and Terra Sancta colleges also form part of this. Quakers Hill has experienced
much road development over recent years making it much more accessible to the
greater Sydney region, including the construction of a new road leading directly to the
education precinct, and the M7 Westlink.
Access available upon request.

Briens Road, Northmead NSW
The project consists of 10 residential buildings, three storeys in height, with 238 units
over basement car parking. The site is situated on a major transitional corridor that
links the Western suburbs of Sydney with the Windsor region. Their configuration, with
more than 300m frontage to Briens Road, allows high exposure potential.
The site was master planned by Keith Pike and Associates which involved the
amalgamation of 36 individual lots.
The design approach was focused on creating a pattern through repetition.
Preserving an overall similarity, each building presents itself with unique features that
are highlighted with colour, density and situation within the overall scheme.
Other important features are as follows:
o Enhancing the internal amenities of the units.
o Integrating affordable housing throughout the development.
o Staging the development into four different phases and assuring the
sustainability of each phase through the adequacy of the amenities, on-site
parking, landscaped and communal areas, and exposure to the
environmental elements of sun and wind.
o The linkage between the phases focusing on creating a strong bond between
each phase without losing the specificity of it.
The site has been built by Blue Sox Developments, general contractor, Better Buildings
Constructions.
