Kalimna is unique, due to its transformation from a hard rock quarry to a picturesque parkland setting. More than 190,000m3 of earth was moved around the site to recreate the natural undulation of the surrounding land. The challenge of this development was to completely rehabilitate the site from its harsh quarry environment to a parkland residential estate with an aesthetically attractive landscape in the Tallebudgera Valley . Neumann Contractors consider this environmentally friendly estate a success and the response from the public confirms this with all of the lots purchased shortly after release. A great deal of interest was generated in this development and that was largely due to its maintaining a semi-rural lifestyle while still in close proximity to beaches, schools and major shopping centres in Gold Coast.
