Infrastructure

We have over 25 years experience working on large scale projects and providing creative, sustainable and socially responsible outcomes.

Deer Park Bypass

We understand the complex design, construction and maintenance issues associated with road projects.

The Deer Park Bypass meanders through a rapidly changing residential and industrial landscape within the flat basalt plains landscape. The landscape anchors the striking form and colour of retaining walls and bridge abutments and accentuates the serpentine form of the ribbed metal noise walls to offer a distinct visual identity for the Bypass. Sugar Gum windrows and conifer hedges will establish over time as expressions of the vernacular landscape.

East Bentleigh Secondary College

We collaborate with communities and specialist consultants to create projects that make a difference.

The Moorooboon wetland at East Bentleigh Secondary College is one of a number of sustainability initiatives that has seen the school take out a host of awards. The wetland treats about six million litres of roof water per year, which is stored in an underground tank to be used to irrigate the soccer pitch. The wetland has become home to a new ecosystem of frogs and birds and is a vital part of the school’s outdoor classroom program and Green Machine school student sustainability team.

Wetlands & WSUD

We incorporate best practice environmental requirements into low maintenance landscapes.

Wallbrink Landscape Architecture provides expertise in the sensitive integration of wetland and water sensitive urban design infrastructure into the urban and natural landscape, providing positive outcomes for water quality and the landscape. The challenge of incorporating WSUD into new or existing landscapes is resolved by a rigorous collaborative design process and a deep understanding of natural systems, planning schemes, design, construction and maintenance.

Road Landscape Architecture

We design successful, low maintenance road landscapes.

We have extensive experience working on large scale road and infrastructure projects for road authorities, Councils and design and construct teams. We collaborate with engineers, ecologists and planners to provide resolved designs. We understand the complexity of infrastructure projects and help deliver resolved and sensitively designed projects.

  • Indigenous vegetation reflects the local landscape on the Princes Hwy at Nilma

  • Native vegetation has been specifically chosen to withstand dry conditions and provide a green backdrop to a bridge interchange on the Western Ring Road

  • Freeway interchange planting on the Western Ring Road

  • Successful roadside landscape screens the road from adjacent residential areas
