Station North Urban Renewal Project

The Station North Urban Renewal Project (SNURP) was part of the Revitalising Central Dandenong Project by the Development Victoria (previously VicUrban).  During this engagement new street trees were to be installed and passively irrigated along the length of the new road alignment.  Jamie (while at Storm Consulting) undertook a water balance of specific tree species to determine an appropriate spacing of trees and tree choice based on that available catchment.  Passive irrigation systems were then devised in a very urbanised environment that ensured pedestrian and cycle thoroughfare were safely maintained while the trees received adequate watering.
