Martens were engaged to prepare designs for road, fire trail and stormwater to cater for a large lot rural sub-division in the suburb of Duffys Forest, located approximately 30km north of Sydney.

The sub-division was located immediately upslope of the Ku-Ring-Gai National Park, amongst areas of ecologically endangered communities. Stormwater treatment devices, such as bio-filtration swales along roads and leaky wall basins within fire trails, were incorporated to improve stormwater runoff quality.

Project scope included:

• Develop road and fire trail designs amongst areas containing ecologically endangered communities
• Designs prepared in accordance with Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) principles.
• Site supervision of civil works.
