Design Intelligence and Savvy

Whether you’re developing estates, precincts or neighbourhoods, a rigorous and measurable Subdivision Design and Feasibility is as critical as creating functional, attractive, and sustainable urban places.

We listen to your goals and aspirations and harness our know-how and passion for excellence to deliver great Masterplans and Urban Subdivision Designs which maximise yield potential.

At Lyssna Group, our informed and intelligent Subdivision Design and Feasibility services play key roles in helping you unlock the most value from new development opportunities.  Only with the facts at your fingertips and analytic reviews are you better positioned to control risk exposure and achieve the best outcomes.

Our track record for leading collaboration and driving greater Urban Design performance lends confidence to investment in urban development.  Our approach acknowledges the interdependence of various disciplines in Urban Design. We bring together the subjective and quantifiable layers of the built, natural, political and regulatory environments to provide you with effective and efficient designs.

To achieve the best results, not only do you need design intelligence, you also need design savvy.

Our dedicated Urban Design team draws from backgrounds as Licensed Surveyors, Planners and Designers.  Our practical insights come from experience in survey engineering, Estate Survey Management, and close collaboration with many different civil engineering and planning consultants on a wide variety of development projects.

Our approach doesn’t finish with an endorsed Development Concept Plan.  Our Urban Design team is fully integrated with our Subdivision Implementation and Delivery Management.  This ensures our Designers maintain an intimate and practical understanding of the quality and performance of Designs and information produced for various stakeholders throughout the subdivision process.

Our reliable and comprehensive advice is in context to:

  • Accurate site boundaries and Title boundary impediments and constraints
  • Reviews of Planning constraints imposed by Planning Scheme and Precinct Structure Plan (PSP) process via the Victorian Planning Authority (VPA)
  • Physical site considerations
  • Achieving cost efficiencies
  • Achieving best Lot-mixes and yield options
  • Ensuring housing product sales trends are perfectly suited to proposed Lot type mixes
  • Ensuring Design options that will satisfy all relevant constraints and not cause delays in the subdivision approval and registration processes.

We have extensive experience reviewing:

  • Planning Schemes and Development Plans; and
  • Precinct Structure process including the PSP and DCP documentation.

Even an initial preliminary review of the Planning Scheme, Precinct Structure Plan (PSP), Development Contributions Plan (DCP), etc, affecting a site can offer significant insights on yield potential and viability.  We are dedicated to delivering sound and reliable information to arm Clients to make better decisions.

We have strong links with a range of allied stakeholders and consultants who bring additional expertise if needed in areas such as: Planning; Ecology; Heritage; Civil Engineering; Traffic; Landscaping; etc.
