Constructors complete 10-year award-winning project
At Winslow, we thrive on building communities and are committed to protecting and enhancing the environment in which we operate, with our clients, stakeholders and other interested parties to achieve strong sustainable outcomes.
Last December, Winslow Constructors celebrated the completion of the final stage of The Point estate in Point Lonsdale, on the Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria.
For more than 10 years Winslow has been constructing The Point with our Development Partner Moremac Property Group to deliver more than 500 residential and retirement lots.
The development of The Point required Winslow and Moremac to overcome extraordinary environmental challenges.
The Point is based around a unique water body engineered to allow a regular flushing of seawater using a system of computerised gates to manage water ingress and egress.
The system required a high level of engineering innovation, and this has been followed by an excellent residential development creating a new coastal community on the popular Bellarine Peninsula.
This was recognised in the annual Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) – Victoria awards.
Other engineering achievements included building drainage works under the railway and Bellarine Highway, as well as adding roundabout.
Waterways were also constructed to connect The Point to Swan Bay and Lake Victoria.
The Point was recognised in the 2020 UDIA Awards with the Environmental Award for Excellence and Judges Award – Regional Subdivision.
