Knockdown streets and remaining estate lots
Point Cook is two kinds of site cut. Older estates — Sanctuary Lakes fringes, Featherbrook, Boardwalk — are into knockdown rebuilds. Those are constrained jobs: an existing crossover, neighbouring fences, street trees and services. A greenfield lot might take a 14-tonne excavator; an established street often means a 5 to 8 tonne machine working in stages.
Remaining greenfield releases around Saltwater Coast behave like other Wyndham estate lots: pre-graded, then a 200–400 mm detailed cut to slab level. The soil is reactive coastal-margin clay, frequently classed H. After rain the window between too wet and good digging is short, and a finished cut left open can lose its level.
The practical habit in the Point Cook and Williams Landing guide is to cut close to slab preparation, compact in one pass, and get surface water off the platform. Our excavators and tippers come together.

Point Cook questions
Will a knockdown in Point Cook use the same machine as a new lot?
Often no. Established streets with fences and services usually need a smaller excavator and a staged dig.
Why does timing matter on this clay?
The guide describes a short window after rain, and a cut that can lose level if it sits open. We aim to finish close to the slab date.
