be made on land which was marked
for future urban development due to
the paucity of facilities. In Yamba there
was an urban release area that was
proposed for about 1000 residential
lots and the process of designing it
started in the mid 1990’s, but it could
not be developed until this year.”
Innovative techniques used
for project management
The Council used a unique strategy
while awarding the Junction Hill, Grafton
and Maclean, Lawrence, Townsend
and Ilarwill (JHGMLTI) contracts. Even
though the works were in two separate
geographic locations about 40 km
apart, the projects were combined to
ensure a commonality of equipment
between the two sites. The value of
this project was $77 million.
In the normal course a contractor
who was large enough would have
taken on this project and in turn,
awarded sub-contracts. However,
“HASLIN Constructions is extremely proud to be involved with Greg Mashiah and
the Clarence Valley Council team. Together, since 2008, we have delivered over
$70 Million worth of Water Treatment projects for the community, including plants
at Clarenza, North Grafton, Woodford Island and the substantial upgrade at Yamba
on which we’re still collaborating. The cooperative approach embraced by the
Clarence Valley Council allows us to implement innovative solutions, easily overcome
obstacles and provide high quality infrastructure for Clarence Valley residents.”
