Waterloo Estate
Strategic Divestment and Advisory
UrbanGrowth NSW and LAHC engaged HIllPDA to undertake financial feasibility services for the Waterloo Estate and its surrounds. The objective of this work is to rigorously test the financial viability of the design options and test staging impacts. The outcome is to prove a preferred design and development scheme that can be presented in a Business Case to Government.
Outcome
Using a bespoke financial model HillPDA tested numerous development options with varying density and land use mix. HillPDA was able to provide qualitative feedback regarding:
- Each options financial strengths and weaknesses
- Design issues impacting the viability of each option
- Ensuring other project interdependencies such as relocation time and cost was factored into the masterplan
- how staging certain project components assist in ensuring a viable development.
This project is currently in the community consultation phase. It is expected HillPDA will remain on this project until business case approval.
