Once home to the old Nuttelex factory and a long-standing car wash, the site now known as Seaford Business Park has undergone a major transformation. What was once a heavily constrained brownfield site, plagued by chronic flooding and ageing infrastructure, is now evolving into a thriving 18-lot industrial estate featuring future tenants like Planet Fitness, Wendy’s, and Starbucks.
The site had a history of localised flooding, affecting neighbouring homes due to blocked and undersized drainage. The legacy underground infrastructure was at full capacity, and much of the stormwater network had deteriorated.
KLM Spatial was engaged to deliver a full land development solution — designing and delivering critical infrastructure, while managing the complexities of:
-
Relocating over 90,000 cubic metres of earth
-
Installing one of the area’s largest drainage systems to resolve long-standing flooding
-
Constructing a new signalised intersection to service the estate
-
Navigating the site’s location directly over a live transmission gas main
-
Installing over 300 cubic metres of new stormwater infrastructure
Stage 1 of the estate has now been successfully completed, with the site fully serviced and prepared for future warehouse development. While the client is not delivering the buildings themselves, KLM’s work has laid the groundwork for a high-performing, flood-resilient business precinct in Melbourne’s south-east.
Seaford Business Park stands as a prime example of how clever engineering, environmental strategy, and experienced land development can unlock even the most complex industrial sites.
