Burchills Engineering Solutions were engaged to provide specialist engineering and environmental services for the Preliminary Approvals Material Change of Use (MCU) phase of the development proposal of the proposed redevelopment on Gooding Drive and Boowaggan Road, Merrimac. The proposed development is known as Green Heart Gardens.

The development proposal requires a maximum filling footprint to accommodate the 5,000 residential units and 8,000 m2 of commercial areas on flood free land.
