Boffa Miskell, as principal consultant and lead designer, worked closely with the Council to design and implement the project. Dempsey and Wood Civil contractors Limited were the contractor for the site works.

Bayside Reserve had a stormwater concrete stream channel which flowed into a detention pond. The pond, which was overlooked by Browns Bay residents, had silted up and was not functioning as intended. “We saw the opportunity to extend what could have been a routine maintenance project into a demonstration project for sustainable design,” says Boffa Miskell project leader and landscape architect, Mark Lewis. “It became a multi-faceted approach to stormwater design in line with NSCC’s sustainable stormwater strategy.”
