Landscape Architecture for Town Planning
Landscape architecture plays a critical role in shaping successful planning outcomes. At ald. we support architects, planners and developers by preparing planning ready landscape designs that respond to local planning frameworks, ResCode requirements and council specific expectations across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Our approach integrates landscape strategy early within the design process, ensuring projects respond to canopy tree targets, deep soil provision, neighbourhood character and functional open space outcomes aligned with planning objectives.
Strategic Landscape Design for Planning Outcomes
Planning applications require landscape responses that demonstrate more than planting layouts. Successful submissions integrate landscape thinking into the broader architectural and planning strategy.
We regularly assist with:
-
Landscape plans for planning submissions
-
Clause 55 (ResCode)
-
Garden area and deep soil strategy
-
Tree canopy provision and urban forest objectives
-
Rooftop and communal landscape design
-
WSUD and environmentally responsive design.
Working Across Melbourne Council Planning Frameworks
Each municipality applies planning policy differently, requiring tailored landscape strategies that respond to local character, environmental objectives and assessment priorities. Explore our local planning expertise below:
Hey! I'm Mark, Landscape Architect & Director of Adaptive Landscape Design.
With over a decade of experience, across Melbourne and Sydney in both design and construction, I've helped clients bring ideas to life with smart, practical design.
From residential sites to complex developments, commercial and civic spaces, I have created designs that balance creativity with construction know-how. My job is to make sure what we draw can actually be built, and built well.
Good design isn’t just how it looks, it’s how it functions.
