We provide both lead consultant services within a project team environment as well as the provision of required disciplines.

We provide a range of professional design expertise in civil engineering, stormwater and flood management, traffic engineering and road safety including education campaigns, landscape architecture and urban design including streetscapes, parks and playgrounds, building architectural design for community buildings such as park pavilions and community centres and the design of sustainability measures including water sensitive urban design, energy efficiencies and cooling initiatives.

We provide contract management and construction site supervision primarily for community infrastructure works. We have a diverse range of skills and experience to successfully deliver a broad range of infrastructure projects, ranging in complexity, to a high standard and within agreed timeframes. We understand and work within funding agreements and some challenging committed timeframes. We can fast track our project delivery given our strong demonstrated experience working within the public domain, yet still achieve high-end outcomes.

We undertake stakeholder engagement and community liaison for projects working closely with our clients and their stakeholders, to ensure effective problem resolution, issues management and risk mitigation throughout project delivery to maximise the success of our projects.

We prepare asset strategies, asset management plans (AMP’s) and undertake asset valuations for community infrastructure assets, such as but not limited to roads, drainage, footpaths, cycleways, bridges, traffic devices, street furniture and lighting, parking meters and car parks, buildings and amenities, parks, playgrounds, sportsgrounds, bushland and natural waterways.

We offer services to seek funding opportunities for identified gaps and prepare submissions, including seeking special rate variations (SRV’s) from the Office of Local Government (OLG).

We provide condition audits and undertake inspections and complete full assessments for all asset classes. We provide prioritisation lists of required works based on selected criteria to inform AMP’s, long term financial plans (LTFP’s) and all related strategic documents. We provide risk assessments for various situations given our vast experience in managing assets within the public domain.
