The Design Process

This project evolved out of a commission to review the 2012 masterplan for Blackwall Reach. We undertook a wholescale review of the masterplan, making numerous recommendations, many of which have been undertaken by Swan. We then worked up plans for Phase 2, requiring a s.96A revision to the consented masterplan parameters, and submitted a Reserved Matters application in June 2016, consented September of that year. The project is currently on site.
