Lake Ferry
Clients | Jakeman Trust |
Job | Beach Resort subdivision |
Short Description | Planning and surveying of coastal residential subdivision. |
Status | Construction |
Detail | The client has had a long association with the Lake Ferry area so a high degree of attention to detail was required when they wanted to add to it. The planners and surveyors at Tomlinson & Carruthers are part of a team including engineers from Opus Consultants and GNS Science to provide a high quality coastal development.
A key element of the design was the orientation of lots towards the expansive coastal vista while maintaining efficient infrastructure and good access to nearby public areas.

Waimoana
Clients | LJW & LE Thompson |
Job | Residential Coastal Subdivision. |
Short Description | Tomlinson & Carruthers designed, planned, surveyed and modelled the subdivision whilst minimizing environmental impact. |
Status | Completed |
Detail |
The clients owned several baches on the point at Waimoana and wished to contain each bach on its own certificate of title. As part of this process Tomlinson & Carruthers planners led a team of specialists to ensure the uniqueness of the site was maintained. While the original coastal boundary was eroded and needed to be redefined, nearby archaeological sites needed to be identified, assessed and the subdivision was designed around the sites. The result was an iconic cluster of kiwi baches in an iconic coastal setting.

Riversdale Links
Clients | Key Housing Co. Limited |
Job | Residential Coastal Subdivision. |
Short Description | Tomlinson & Carruthers designed, planned, surveyed and modeled the subdivision whilst minimizing environmental impact. |
Status | Planning |
Detail | Riversdale Beach Golf Club owns surplus land that can not be utilised as any future expansion of the course or facilities. The client asked Tomlinson & Carruthers to assess the site, between the East Leigh Development and the Riversdale community, and to design and manage a subdivision maximising the infrastructure and the coastal views.
The site presented several challenges. Being at the base of a hill and on a coastal plain, future development of the site required a design mitigating the effects on the stability of the slope and the drainage of stormwater. Tomlinson & Carruthers utilised a synergetic approach to the design incorporating the following features:
Working with geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, architects and landscape architects, Tomlinson & Carruthers planned the subdivision to create a greater degree of certainty for existing residents of Riversdale and potential residents so that any concerns are adequately addressed at each stage of the project.

East Leigh
Clients | East Leigh Development Limited |
Job | 142 Lot Beach Resort Subdivision. |
Short Description | Tomlinson & Carruthers surveyed, designed and modeled to date the largest subdivision in Wairarapa’s history whilst minimizing environmental impact and improving infrastructure. |
Detail |
The client wanted to develop a subdivision close to the highly desirable Riversdale coastal resort community. The natural amphitheatre of flat land on the coast was fully developed and the closest suitable land was the bordering hills. Tomlinson & Carruthers were approached due to our experience with developments in the area. The strategic design for the subdivision was to layout a 142 Lot subdivision where as many lots had coastal views as possible. The criterion was to ensure the subdivision was not visible from the existing Riversdale community whilst maintaining a connection with the whole community. The firm first prepared a detailed topographical survey of the area before designing a 3D model. Based on the digital terrain model & perspective views from throughout the model, Tomlinson & Carruthers designed the lot layout, sewer & storm water system, roading design and public spaces. As part of the resource consent process, Tomlinson & Carruthers prepared most of the environmental impact assessments, setting building location and height criteria so views in the subdivision of the coast were maintained and the views of the hills from the Riversdale community were not effected. As with every previous subdivision in the Riversdale community, Tomlinson & Carruthers will manage the project until its completion.
