Located at the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, the $20 million Koolamara Waters estate features 14.2 hectares of parkland and wetlands which have been designed and excavated in conjunction with Melbourne Water and the Australian Platypus Conservancy. As Platypus naturally inhabit the Monbulk Creek, this system of lakes and ponds was the obvious solution as a new home for the platypus to repopulate the creek.

Along with the wetlands and parks, the completed estate will feature 100 homesites ranging in size from 420m² to 940m².

Breese Pitt Dixon was involved in the design and construction administration of the wetlands & platypus habitat ponds in Monbulk creek flood plain. As well as the filling of reclaimed floodway areas to create the residential estate.
