“Henri’s handling of the Sundrop Farms proposal was brilliant and I don’t think it could not have been done any better. The proposal involving 20 hectares of greenhouses plus solar thermal infrastructure for distillation of sea water will provide a major boost to Port Augusta’s economy. Henri ensured that the highly complex project was able to be processed rigorously and within the shortest path possible for such an important project”

Town Centre Redesign

Two Wells, Old Port Wakefield Road

The Director Henri Mueller has advised on numerous urban design and streetscape design processes. He coordinated the urban design and public consultation processes for the redevelopment of the town center at Two Wells aiming to ensure that it remains as the hub for retail, commercial, and community services in the District.

Environmental Projects

Baker Road Wetland, Gawler River

The Baker Road wetland project was managed by Henri in conjunction with the community and the then Catchment Board, as were similar collaborative environmental projects such as the Thompson Beach Shorebird Interpretive Trails, various coastal interpretive facilities, and the Mallala Remnant Vegetation Recovery Scheme.
