Project overview

Built for long-term performance.

The City of Yarra engaged SJM Turf & Civil to redevelop the first nine holes at Burnley Golf Course, delivering improved playability, drainage and surface quality on the fringe of Melbourne's CBD.

$2-3 MillionContract value
9 holesRedeveloped
3,100 m³Material removed
Work undertaken

The project commenced with the removal and off-site disposal of approximately 3,100 m³ of existing material. Bulk earthworks then reshaped and redesigned the fairways, greens, tees and bunkers in accordance with the new course design.

A new drainage system was installed for long-term stability and improved surface performance. Specialist sands were imported, graded and prepared before high-quality turf was installed. The works were delivered within a constrained site with limited access and close proximity to Melbourne's CBD.

  • Nine-hole redevelopment delivered under challenging site conditions
  • Fairways, greens, tees and bunkers reshaped to the new design
  • New drainage systems for long-term surface performance
