Covey Associates were originally engaged in 2016 to incorporate a new innovative stormwater treatment approach into the next stage of Pelican Waters.  The original stage was designed as ‘dry’ lots with conventional stormwater treatment however Covey Associates were approached by the developer to investigate incorporating a saline floating wetland system into the stage.  The approach was approved by Council and the stage was transformed from dry lots to a mixture of canal lots with direct ocean access and also some dry allotments.

Following on from Stage 3B, Covey Associates were engaged as the estate engineering consultant to deliver a range of developments within the remainder of the estate such as a town centre, marina and dry stack boat storage and balance remainder development of the Southern Precinct which includes approximately 600 allotments and 4 medium-high density sites.
