Infrastructure
Craigieburn Bypass, VIC. Motorists arriving
along the Hume Highway from Sydney first
encounter the ‘Curtain Wall’ which flows
alongside the driver until ultimately twisting
to become a pedestrian bridge over the
roadway. At this point, the view of Melbourne
is revealed.
Introduction
Landscape Architecture and Urban Design offer an opportunity to create external environments that are not only beautiful and artfully designed, but also places where a myriad of functions and engaging revitalisation can occur.
Why TCL?
As Australia’s most awarded Landscape Architects with a strong and growing international reputation, TCL have successfully undertaken significant and complex infrastructure, civic, masterplanning and urban projects.
InfrastructureTCL have lead the design and implementation of a number of freeway statement projects, where functional infrastructure such as sound walls and bridges, as well as stand-alone large scale artworks become compelling sculptural elements in the landscape. A number of TCL staff are trained in architecture and this has allowed us to design site and project specific infrastructure elements such as shelters, tram stops and freeway noise attenuation walls.
Urban DesignTCL understand that urban design is a field that involves the integration of many allied disciplines in a collaborative manner. To this end we have led project teams in the design and revitalisation of many urban settings, waterfronts, streetscapes, public spaces and retail environments with an emphasis in projects of cultural significance. This work has included masterplanning through to the resolution of built work.
TCL’s wide ranging experience has provided us with the opportunities to explore the many facets of contemporary cultural and spatial experiences in both urban and regional contexts. We bring to each project the following:
Robust and Meaningful VisionsTCL are renowned for masterplans and conceptual designs that respond to their context and provide compelling visions for the future. Designs that are embraced and owned by all stakeholders.
...a sequential gateway experience, where boundaries were blurred between the expression of functional wall, sculptural expression and gateway
A Distinctive Identity
TCL appreciate the importance of providing a positive and strong identity, one that is site responsive and celebrates the site.
An Ecological BaseTCL have worked creatively with environmentally sustainable principles since the company’s inception. The practice has always viewed landscape and urban design as having a strong ecological base, and as such has developed and embraced sustainable practices in its projects to minimise the ecological footprint and maximise integrated environmental systems such as water sensitive urban design (WSUD)
Sustainable Communities and EconomiesTCL have always maintained a strong community development focus with stakeholder consultation being an important part of the practice’s approach to projects. Similarly, the practice has been involved in many significant projects where economic drivers have played a large part in the brief development and subsequent project objectives. We therefore have a keen awareness of the importance of a sustainable economic outcome for our projects.
A Collaborative ApproachTCL are recognised for our love of collaborating with clients, stakeholders, communities, academics, artists, and other consultants.An approach which has a respect for difference and diversity, and creates an outcome that is greater than the sum of its parts. Over the years we have collaborated with some of Australia’s leading allied professionals.
Research
Our recent projects and the Directors Perry Lethlean and Kate Cullity’s recently completed PhD studies have investigated a number of areas, including the meaning of ‘The New Civic’, a design attitude of public space which encourages a multi-layered experience; one of exchange, interaction and acceptance of diversity and difference. These are places defined by the everyday experience they facilitate, as much as their spatial form.
Another area of research has been how the beauty and aesthetics of an environment can facilitate the creation of, and care for a more sustainable outcome and future.
As Australia’s most awarded Landscape Architects with a strong and growing international reputation, TCL have successfully undertaken numerous Infrastructure, complex civic and urban projects.
Masterplans/ Framework Plans
TCL have delivered public realm masterplans and framework plans for many complex urban projects. Each are characterised by a deep understanding of the individual culture and character of the site and a compelling and poetic design led vision for their future.
This is followed by “key moves”, the key enabling acts that will achieve the vision. These are the fundamental design gestures that must be delivered to achieve the shared ambition.

The $60 million plan (2001) establishes guiding principles and design outcomes which form the basis of all current and future stages of the project. The foundational principle is to establish a generous pedestrian zone along the north side of the street which has both sufficient integrity and strength to read as a single place, yet be responsive to the many urban conditions that abut the Terrace.

Southern Highlands Botanical Gardens Masterplan
The Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens Masterplan is a new 14.2 ha botanic garden in Bowral NSW - a region renowned for its spectacular gardens and its natural beauty.
With the underlying theme of ‘Four Seasons in a Cold Climate’, the masterplan expresses a journey through the landscapes of the Southern Highlands Regions from the more mannered town gardens to the spacious arcadian country gardens and the natural indigenous landscapes beyond the cultivated areas.
As well as being an immersive, rich and seasonal experience enhanced by public art and managed according to environmentally sustainable principles, the garden aims to provide education and research facilities and opportunities.
Masterplan:
Springthorpe Masterplan
Springthorpe is a prestigious housing development, located within an established framework of heritage buildings. It is complimented by a public realm experience that responds to the site’s existing character.
The project commenced with an overall site masterplan, followed by the detailed design of all public landscape facilities, as well as developing templates for residential garden development.The project is distinguished by its landscape driven approach which incorporates the provision of detailed
planting, wetlands and a playground. This builds on the distinctive character precinct identified through the masterplanning process.

TCL together with MGS Architects were engaged to undertake the masterplan for the La Trobe University’s Melbourne Campus - Bundoora.
The La Trobe University Melbourne Campus has an abundance of green space - surrounded by parkland, wildlife reserves, sporting fields with an extensive water system running through the campus core. The masterplan’s intent was to transform the current campus into a University Town – activating the existing spaces, buildings and reappropriate space to create a densification of program on campus.
We worked closely with La Trobe in support of the key moves for the

masterplan - finding ways for La Trobe to decrease the reliance on the motor vehicle, and promote pedestrian and bicycle access throughout the campus; enhancing the connection with the surrounding community; and using the Wildlife Sanctuary as a platform for research and learning.
A number of masterplans had been undertaken by various consultants over the previous 20 years, none of which had been implemented. A distinguishing factor for this masterplan was to create a masterplan that was supported by significant stakeholder consultation and embedded into the current thinking of the University at all levels of planning.
The Landscape Framework Plan for Melbourne University’s Parkville Campus provides the strategic direction for its public spaces, as well as implementation guidelines for the ongoing development of the Campus.

Jury Citation 2011 AILA (SA) Award
TCL led a collaborative team of architects, engineers, designers and artists for the urban design and public art interventions along the entire 23km length of expressway demonstrating a high level of detail not typical for an infrastructure project and setting a new benchmark for such infrastructure.
The conceptual underpinning was to create a landscape experience that was sensitive to the expansive plains site. Expressway interchanges were left open to accentuate the flatness and long views. Horizontality was expressed strongly
in the bridge design with a series of calculated interventions designed to ‘stretch’ the bridge forms. Plantings and bold artistic interventions related to the cultural and environmental history of the site.

Jury Citation 2006 AILA National Award
The Federal Government as part of itscommitment to delivering a new freewayconnection to northern Melbourne,undertook a competition for the design ofa gateway element and noise attenuationfeatures.
TCL, TZG and Robert Owen won thiscompetition in 2003. The winning designcomprising walls, bridges and landscapes, was informed by a poetic reading of the site and a freeway environment largely experienced at speed. In particular thedesign explores how otherwise staticobjects begin to exhibit dynamism or areactivated by the travelling motorist.
Two wall types were developed eachdistinctive and responding to theiradjacent condition. The ‘Curtain Wall’a long sinuous steel ribbon is fluid inits form, dynamic and experiential.The ‘Scrim Wall’ by contrast is locatedalongside a residential interface and is composed of patterned acrylic panelsand repeated electric blue louvres.

Jury Citation - 2013 CCAA Public Domain SA State Award
TCL, with Adelaide Airport Limited (AAL) and Woodhead Architects have created a dynamic, world class gateway to South Australia and the City of Adelaide.
Like Adelaide’s extensive plains and open skies, the project is vast, consisting of a plaza, multi-storey carpark, porte cochere, pedestrian bridge, taxi zone, roads and associated plantings.
The plaza is deliberately open and egalitarian, allowing for large numbers to traverse unencumbered, as well as being adaptive for future uses.

Working waterfronts are constantly in flux; crusty, utilitarian, muscular and dissolving, with temporal qualities that engage all of our senses. Yet contemporary waterfront redevelopments are often characterised by the removal of the very qualities that attract us to these places. At Auckland’s Wynyard Point redevelopment these conventions are challenged in a development that anticipates transforming a forlorn industrial and maritime precinct into a mixed-use precinct.
Underpinning the design are two ‘key moves’. Retention and enhancing of fishing and maritime industries form the

Jellicoe Harbour is a major tourism attraction centred on the retention of the fishing fleet, wholesale and retail fish and seafood markets, and new promenades and restaurants. Silo Park is a layered public space that facilitates a range of hybrid uses including passive recreation, event space, youth precinct, industry and folly. Each program is new to the site, yet built from the pattern language, infrastructure and the mythology of place.

Resene Total Colour Landscape Award
Location: North Terrace, AdelaideClient: Adelaide City CouncilCollaboration: Peter Elliott Architects, Paul Carter, Hossein ValamaneshSize: 20,500 sqm
The jury commends this thoughtful and elegant revision to Adelaide’s civic and cultural boulevard. TCL... has conveyed an important and positive message about the capacity of landscape architects to lead urban landscape design projects.
Jury Citation - 2013 AILA (SA) Medal for Landscape Architecture
The North Terrace Precincts Redevelopment masterplan provides a vision for the entire length of North Terrace including forecourts to the adjacent cultural institutions and University.
The $60 million plan (2001) establishes guiding principles and design outcomes which form the basis of all current and future stages of the project. The foundational principle is to establish a generous pedestrian zone along the north side of the street which both has sufficient integrity and strength to read as a single place, yet be responsive to the many urban conditions that abut the Terrace.
Attention to detail and the use of quality durable materials have created an environment befitting the cultural significance of this iconic space within the City of Adelaide.

North Terrace, Stage One - Three
Right Below: North Terrace. During
the Adelaide International Festival of
Art 2012 images were projected onto
each of the historic buildings along
North Terrace. As is evident here, the
civic space of the street allowed for
a very large audience to watch the
‘Northern Lights’ installation.
Opposite: North Terrace. A view along
North Terrace showing the generous
inner and outer paths and the repetitive
rhythm of seating, paving, planting and
forecourts.

features mark each institution plaza.
14 Pieces by artists Hossein and
Angela Valamanesh is located on
the plaza of the Museum of South
Australia. The black granite forms
are reminiscent of the giant dinosaur
bones in the museum’s collection.
It has become a favourite cool play
space for children in Adelaide heat.
North Terrace, SA. Having all cultural
institutions along one terrace is unique.
The redevelopment of North Terrace
allows each institution to be heralded
while providing cohesion along the
whole length.

Adelaide Botanic Gardens Wetland

Wetland. Stepping stones provide an
immersive experience of the wetland.
The Adelaide Botanic Gardens Wetland is located on First Creek, a highly urbanised waterway near the centre of Adelaide. The wetland ameliorates flooding, purifies polluted stormwater runoff, is the source for an Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) system, provides habitat and is an educational and recreational resource.
The conceptual design process has led to a fusion of engineering, landscape architecture and interpretation resulting in an integrated system combining physical, biological, mechanical and hydrological processes.
Location: Adelaide, South AustraliaDate of Completion: 2013Client: Adelaide Botanic GardensCollaboration: SKM, David Lancashire Design, Paul ThompsonBudget: $8.5mSize: 20,000sqm
Three primary themes - plants, water and people are explored through the design. These themes are established within a layout which improves visitor entry to the gardens through the eastern gate, maintains visitor and service access and provides a range of new opportunities for educational experiences.

in the form of coloured glass panels is
both beautiful and educational.

Auckland Waterfront, New Zealand.
Adjacent to Silo Park is a large
bio-retention wetland that collects
stormwater from the wider site. The
historic wharf edge has been revealed
here with the removal of declaimed fill.
Indigenous planting also references
the site’s conditions pre-industry.
This, along with the planting of the
Jellicoe Street rain gardens, references
an important element of Maori culture
- the viewing of a green edge when
approaching land.

A project of national scientific, cultural
and environmental significance,
Winton Wetlands is the largest wetland
restoration project in the southern
hemisphere.
Right: Lonsdale Street,
Central Dandenong, VIC. A treed
linear garden along the length of
the road, creates a significant arrival
element and in line with urban
stormwater best practice, a series
of rain gardens capture and treat
localized stormwater run-off to be
reused for irrigation purposes.

formed the centrepiece of the new
reserve, nestled amongst the existing
magnificent gum trees that grace the
site. The wetland cleans stormwater
from the Sturt River, and the cleaned
stormwater is then stored in a confined
aquifer nearly 100 metres under the
ground.

Studio
TCL’s award winning success is borne out of an open studio based approach where one or more of the directors lead the design of each project supported by a talented group of landscape architects, urban designers, and architects.
The Directors, Kate Cullity, Perry Lethlean, Scott Adams and Damian Schultz each bring different disciplines and skills to the practice. Along with a shared background in landscape architecture, Kate is trained in botany and visual arts and Perry in urban design, while Scott is an expert at the design and delivery of large scale projects and Damian has extensive skills in water sensitive urban design,
wetland design and working in National Parks.
