Outside Ideas completed three stages of the Victor Harbor Mainstreet Upgrade over 5 years.
The scope of works included the entire demolition of the existing streetscape, contamination remediation, civil works, significant stormwater upgrades, service relocations, new electrical services, complete roadway and intersection reconstructions, new asphalt pavements, clay brick paving, custom street furniture, exposed aggregate concrete planters and pavement, optical fibre, a large-scale projector, electrical infrastructure, and the installation of mature palm trees and irrigation.
Substantial stakeholder management was essential due to the extent and complexity of works. A staged construction delivery was required to accommodate traffic and pedestrian management as well as maintaining business access and minimising the impact on trading for the duration of the project. The site also contained significant soil contamination that had to be removed and remediated as the works progressed.
Outside Ideas completed the final stage of this project six weeks ahead of schedule, ensuring the precinct could open prior to the busy holiday period in late 2022. Since completion, the project has won several South Australian landscape architecture awards.
