What the footage shows

A drone lifts from the Coomera River and tracks back across the lawn to a two-storey home. The grass between the house and the water is still untouched.

An excavator cuts into the terrace beside the house. A tracked dumper shuttles spoil down the narrow side path to a bin on the front driveway, then the hole is trimmed and a base bed screeded level.

A truck carrying the shell pulls up on the street and a red crane sets up between the houses. The shell swings out over the yard on chains and settles into the hole.

A line pump feeds concrete around the shell. Two workers screed and trowel the surround by hand, with the pool already holding water and the river behind them.

Pavers go down over the concrete in a run of overhead cuts. The last aerials show the pool full, the surround finished and the lawn re-laid back towards the water.
