Rolling Hills Estate

Located in the heart of West Gippsland, Rolling Hills Estate at Warragul (VIC, 3820) represents a pivotal residential expansion in one of Victoria’s most dynamic regional hubs. Spanning Stages 1 & 2, this development required a civil partner equipped to handle complex earthmoving, site benching, and structural civil works across sloping regional terrain. Rowe Constructions was engaged to deliver end-to-end civil infrastructure, bringing 45 years of industry experience to ensure the site was delivered build-ready for incoming homeowners and developers.

Regional Focus: Building in West Gippsland

Warragul has rapidly grown into a high-demand regional corridor, offering a blend of country lifestyle and modern community infrastructure. Preparing greenfield sites in Gippsland requires specialised civil knowledge—from navigating local Baw Baw Shire regulatory standards to managing regional soil compaction and natural water runoff across undulating land.

Leveraging four decades of regional authority across South East Melbourne and Gippsland, Rowe Constructions deployed heavy earthmoving fleets—including specialised rollers, dump trucks, and GPS-guided dozers—to execute large-scale site preparation efficiently. Our long-standing regional presence ensured seamless site management, rapid equipment mobilisation, and strict adherence to local Victorian compliance standards.

Civil Scope & Execution: Delivering Stages 1 & 2

Executing the civil infrastructure for Stages 1 & 2 at Rolling Hills Estate required a multi-stage approach, ensuring earthworks, retention, and surface finishes aligned perfectly with the surrounding residential landscape:

• Heavy-Duty Bulk Earthworks & Soil Compaction: Executed extensive cut-and-fill operations, utilising heavy rollers and earthmovers to establish compacted, level building envelopes across both stages.

• Structural Retaining Wall Systems: Constructed durable concrete sleeper retaining walls across site boundaries to manage natural elevation changes, optimise lot space, and ensure long-term structural earth retention.

• Roadworks & Concrete Kerbing: Formed internal access roads, laying kerb and channel infrastructure along main thoroughfares (such as Twin Ranges Drive and Watermark Drive) to establish clean site access and drainage flow.

• Essential Underground Reticulation: Installed complete underground utility infrastructure—including power, NBN, reticulated water, and sewerage systems—ensuring full lot serviceability.

• Stormwater & Outfall Infrastructure: Designed and integrated robust drainage networks to handle surface runoff across the sloping Gippsland terrain, safeguarding site stability.
