The Project

Located in Goonellabah, north of the Bruxner Highway in Lismore Shire, Northridge is a premium residential land subdivision developed by a local Northern Rivers developer.

J&M Bashforth & Sons was engaged as a civil contractor to deliver the full scope of civil works across the 80-lot estate. The team was responsible for preparing the land to ensure all lots were fully serviced and ready for construction. Works also included bulk earthworks, stormwater drainage, a stormwater basin, roadworks and concrete footpaths and driveways.

Works Involved

  • Bulk earthworks
  • Rock hammering and removal
  • Stormwater drainage
  • Sewer
  • Water
  • Stormwater basin
  • Roadworks including upgrades to existing roads
  • Concrete footpaths and driveways

Challenges

The most significant challenge on this project was the discovery and removal of over 5,000 tonnes of shelf rock from a section of the site. This required extensive rock hammering before earthworks could progress, demanding both the right equipment and an experienced team to keep the project on track.

Works commenced in 2025 and continued through 2026.
