Mansergh Graham understand the crucial role that built form and quality open space plays in community living, and the fundamental role of retail and commercial vitality, accessibility and safety as part of the urban fabric. Our approach to urban design is grounded in an awareness of the social, economic and ecological imperatives that sustain the urban environment, with a focus on creating destinations appropriate to their location and context. Our urban assessments address the urban design protocols identified by MoE. We can provide valuable input into a range of projects such as Central Business District redevelopment, subdivision development, commercial and institutional development.

Mansergh Graham assess the potential visual and landscape amenity effects of proposed developments within the context of relevant planning documents. Using a rigorous methodology in conjunction with thorough locale examination, and incorporating GIS and 3D computer modelling technology, an accurate assessment of a development’s effects, and potential mitigation strategies, are evaluated to enable the best fit into the surrounding environment. This same expertise can be applied during initial project conceptualisation, to assist site selection. We have considerable experience in the preparation of evidence and visual material to convey the findings of an assessment for both council and Environment Court hearings.
