Planning and designing a town for the future
Boffa Miskell has been involved in the planning and design of Pegasus since 1997. We contributed to the early site survey and feasibility studies and was responsible for the preliminary site planning. Our multi-disciplinary team carried out landscape and ecological assessments of effects, managed the community impact assessment and planned the rehabilitation of a 90ha wetland which is to be an integral part of the township’s amenity attributes.

Planning approval was gained in 2002 and refinement of the master plan followed.
