The identification of ‘big picture’ outcomes is an essential part of successful city planning and development. TEC has an enviable track record in the preparation of Concept Plans and Masterplans for significant public and private projects in the ACT. A selection of projects undertaken by TEC is scheduled below:
Flemington Road Concept Plan
Client: ACT Planning and Land Authority
Location: Gungahlin ACT
Flemington Road is a major traffic artery connecting the Gungahlin Town Centre and Civic. It is being treated as a special category road known as an Urban Boulevard. The Urban Boulevard is addressed by small scale commercial development and urban housing with slip roads allowing the separation of high speed through traffic and lower speed local traffic movement. The corridor will allow for the installation of a future intertown public transport service and will be punctuated by commercial/transit nodes which incorporate transit stops.
Fyshwick Planning & Scoping Studies
Client: ACT Planning & Land Authority, Land Development Agency
Location: Fyshwick ACT
TEC has undertaken a number of studies in the Fyshwick area to guide the future release of land for industrial and commercial purposes by the ACT Government. Studies included reviews of existing policies, identification of planning and urban design objectives, site analyses, preparation of alternative planning layouts, recommendations for future land uses and preparation of draft Lease and Development Conditions.
City West Pedestrian Links Master Plan
Client: ACT Planning & Land Authority
Location: Canberra City ACT
TEC undertook a major planning and urban design study for west Civic. The final product was a Masterplan for streets and parks forming part of the CBD, tourist links to the NMA and the foreshores of Lake Burley Griffin, and links between the city and ANU. This work has informed subsequent planning work on City West.
Franklin Estate Concept Plan
Client: Land Development Agency
Location: Gungahlin ACT
TEC prepared the draft Concept Plan for the broader Franklin area together with a range of supporting draft Outline Plans to demonstrate how the area might be subdivided. Franklin is a mixed use residential estate which will accommodate approximately 1800 dwellings when completed. The Concept Plan provided genuine housing choice, good environmental outcomes, water sensitive urban design, a strong and positive identity, and a simple, legible & flexible urban structure.
Kingston Foreshore Competition
Client: Kingston Foreshore Development Authority
Location: Kingston ACT
TEC’s skills in integrated design were highlighted in its success in the Kingston Foreshore competition, presenting a winning scheme which combined a rich natural landscape setting, an urban village of considerable density, and an important cultural and community legacy within an ecologically sustainable landscape setting. Our Kingston Foreshore entry was awarded joint first prize in the Competition of Ideas and outright winner in the Peoples Choice competition.
