Challenges faced

This site was not identified as an urban area. It consisted of rural paddocks, with high voltage overhead power lines traversing the site and the Helena River floodplain taking up a significant portion of the site. As it adjoined the River itself it was also a site of heritage significance to indigenous people. The project required extensive and sensitive negotiations with a range of parties.
