Our Projects

Client: Mirvac

Location: Tennyson, QLD

Total project value: $7 million

The Tennyson Reach masterplan maximises every section of this premium parcel of land. With its wide-open Brisbane River frontage, six premium apartment buildings will stand along the water’s edge. Each Apartment maximises the north-facing perspective, providing spectacular river views with optimum natural lighting and ventilation.

The 12 hectare design includes many recommendations by tennis legend, John Newcombe, to ensure the best outcome for players, coaches and spectators and is home to the Queensland Academy of Sport’s tennis program.

The associated residential development consists of 360 luxury apartments and extensive public landscaped parklands, bikeways and pathways providing this stretch of land with public access to the Brisbane River for the first time.

LandPartners has been involved with various titling issues concerning the project since its inception. Stage 1, the tennis centre, is set for completion the end of 2008 and the residential apartments, early 2009.

Clients: Leighton Contractors and Baulderstone Hornibrook Bilfinger Berger joint venture (LBBJV) and Brisbane City Council

Location: Brisbane, QLD

The North-South Bypass Tunnel (NSBT) runs for approximately five kilometres from Bowen Hills to Woolloongabba in Brisbane, Australia. Consisting of two tunnels, one for north-bound and one for south-bound traffic, it will be a cross-city link eliminating up to 18 traffic lights and reducing travel time by up to 15 minutes.

With three entry/exit points, start of the art tolling system, unique urban design and landscaping it will be a landmark feature of Brisbane City. Fittingly to be renamed upon completion the Clem Jones Tunnel, honouring the cities longest serving Mayor.

LandPartners’ involvement commenced with the supply of base topographical data and aerial images to enable the engineers to design the tunnel and surface works. This was carried out in conjunction with Qasco Pty Ltd.

The process involved:

• provision of detail surveys over each of the entry/exit portals using Terrestrial Laser Scanner technology, aerial photogrammetry and field surveying. The combination of these technologies ensured the survey was completed with minimal traffic disruption, avoiding unnecessary road closures
• ortho-rectified images for the entire project.

Using Autodesk Civil3D gave us the tool to integrate the various data sets in an efficient and timely manner creating a completed digital terrain model.

The most advantageous aspect was its ability to display the contours and features in 3D enabling the merging of the three data sets. Its ease of use and customisation were other important factors to why Autodesk Civil3D was chosen to manage the data.

Once the data sets had been merged and checked final deliverables were exported from Civil3D.

LandPartners continues to supply Engineering and Cadastral Surveyors to the project to carry out:

• engineering surveying for all bridges and roads
• engineering surface work setouts
• engineering survey of all associated services infrastructure
• cadastral surveys for resumption of land and definition of project limits.

The project is due for completion in 2010.

Client: Springfield Land Corporation

Location: Springfield, QLD

Total project value: $3 billion

Since 1991, LandPartners has provided planning and surveying services and advice to Springfield Land Corporation to help make their vision of a new master planned community a reality. Greater Springfield, west of Brisbane, is expected to have a population of over 105,000 by 2025 and a central business district equivalent to that of Brisbane. Greater Springfield currently comprises several residential estates including Delfin Springfield Lakes, the Greg Norman-designed Brookwater golf course community and Australand’s The Springs development. These residential communities are supported by the major shopping precinct at Orion and the master planned commercial, health and education precincts.
LandPartners’ role in the development has included: 

• aerial photography and mapping
• master planning of residential, community and retail components of the development including the 350 hectare Springfield Town Centre

• surveying including cadastral, detail, digital terrain model, and volumetric surveys
• GIS database development and data integration
• preparation of land management and sales monitoring systems
• coordination of inputs from other planning consultants.

In consultation with Springfield Land Corporation, we initiated a range of cutting-edge planning concepts for the development, many of which were new to regulatory authorities.
Due to LandPartners’ ability to deliver timely, cost-effective services, we have been retained by Springfield Land Corporation as the development’s master planner and project surveyor for almost two decades.
The creative planning and development of the distinctive Brookwater golf community by LandPartners and other consultants has been recognised by three Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Awards for Excellence. In early 2010 Springfield Land Corporation was awarded as winner of the master planned category at the 61st World Congress of the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI) in Bali.

Client: QM Properties Pty Ltd

Location: Bribie Island, QLD

Total project value: $300 million

LandPartners has worked with QM Properties for the past 30 years to provide all surveying and mapping for one of south east Queensland’s largest master-planned coastal communities.
Pacific Harbour, located on Bribie Island north of Brisbane, comprises a canal estate and supporting infrastructure, and adjoins environmentally significant waterways and protected bushland.
LandPartners has successfully facilitated the development and marketing of 1,000 residential allotments. Our low-level mapping has provided highly accurate contour information to the Pacific Harbour design team, streamlining the design process.
Pacific Harbour has won many UDIA Awards for Excellence and environmental awards.

Location: New Farm, QLD

Total project value: $20 million

LandPartners created a unique titling arrangement for a premier housing development on 7.5 hectares of former industrial and commercial land at New Farm in Brisbane.

Cutters Landing blends elements of the historic CSR Sugar Refinery with contemporary urban design to provide 300 units, 86 houses and a range of resident and community amenities overlooking the Brisbane River.
Using survey data captured by LandPartners, we prepared a layered community title scheme incorporating volumetric lots and building format lots. The scheme provided the Cutters Landing body corporate manager with full control over all external aspects of buildings to ensure consistency of landscaping and architectural finish across the site. It also enabled the development to be staged in such a way that titles were delivered on completion of each phase of construction.

Based on LandPartners’ titling solutions for Cutters Landing, Mirvac appointed us to develop a titling scheme for their next major project in Brisbane, the planned State Tennis Centre at Tennyson.

Cutters Landing has won two UDIA Awards for Excellence.

Client: Urban Plus

Location: Corner Arthur Street and Commercial Road, Newstead, QLD

Total project value: Approximately $20 million

As planners and surveyors of a new residential and commercial development in Brisbane’s upmarket Newstead, LandPartners was faced with development conditions that restricted the new building’s height to that of surrounding structures.

To maximise the development yield of the 53-unit site, LandPartners proved to Brisbane City Council that from a surveying and planning perspective, the proposed building met required height and density regulations.

This involved researching old survey plans of the site to confirm natural growth levels, and using planning, easement and survey documentation for adjoining residential allotments to demonstrate planning consistencies between Fusion and existing developments. 

LandPartners' solution enabled the development of Fusion to proceed unhindered, and remain commercially viable.

Client: Alinta (originally BHP Petroleum and West Coast Energy, then Duke Energy International)

Location: Longford, Vic to Horsley Park in Sydney, NSW

Total consultancy value: $2.2 million

For one of Australia’s most ambitious infrastructure development projects, LandPartners provided a comprehensive surveying consultancy for the 800km Eastern Gas Pipeline between Vic and NSW.

The pipeline delivers natural gas from Bass Strait to industrial customers and communities, and includes extensions to Smithfield and Port Kembla, NSW.

LandPartners’ services during the planning, design and construction phases of the project included:

• route selection
• conducting a detailed survey of the proposed pipeline route
• GPS survey control for all facets of the project
• hydrographic surveys of river crossings
• major cadastral surveys
• locating underground services along the route
• surveying pipeline easements over public and private properties
• using a GIS cadastral database for land owner negotiations, preparation of easement plans and land management
• aerial mapping survey control
• preparing as constructed surveys
• negotiating with landowners, utilities, service providers and government agencies to agree on pipeline locations, and construction and licensing arrangements.

LandPartners encountered a number of challenges during the six-year project. Our resources included up to five teams working at any time in varied and often rugged terrain and in areas with different local and state government development approval and building processes. This was made more complex by the environmental constraints of contrasting natural and rural areas, and by the myriad of existing services in urban areas. 

While many landowners were supportive of the project, some were hostile about easement acquisition and construction processes, and many had particular requirements that needed to be taken into account by our team.

LandPartners met all milestones associated with the Eastern Gas Pipeline project and worked within our agreed budget. Our close working relationship with our client, client representatives, and project stakeholders enabled us to develop fast solutions to challenges.

For example, we negotiated with the NSW Department of Lands to provide compiled easement plans to meet pipeline license requirements rather than supplying full easement survey plans. This was a major cost saving for our client and enabled construction to proceed without delay.

Where route changes were required due to environmental, cultural heritage or landowner issues, we utilised existing survey data to calculate new alignments without the need for additional field surveys. This proved to be an efficient and cost-effective method.

Easement acquisition negotiations with landowners were simplified by adjusting our digital cadastral database for ground surveys to enable accurate presentation of alignment option diagrams to landowners.
At the end of the project, our client retained data collected by LandPartners as well as our data presentation and management systems for future projects.

Client: Airtrain Corporation

Location: Brisbane City to Brisbane Airport, QLD

Total project value: $200 million

Total consultancy value: $400,000

LandPartners was the Master Surveyor and provider of all titling advice for the landmark public transport project, Airtrain.
Airtrain is a purpose-built railway between Brisbane’s CBD and the city’s domestic and international airports. Much of the rail infrastructure is elevated on specially designed supports to avoid any conflicts with existing urban development.

This major difference to conventional railways required LandPartners to develop an innovative titling arrangement, involving volumetric tubes that have as minimal an impact on ground level development/titles as possible.

We also provided accurate survey and GIS data to facilitate the planning and construction phases of Airtrain, and ultimately to deliver the volumetric titles to Airtrain Corporation.
Our innovative titling arrangement allowed construction of Airtrain to proceed smoothly, with no impacts on the many sites below and adjoining the rail corridor.

Client: Seymour Group and Leighton Properties Joint Venture

Location: Queen Street, Brisbane, QLD

Total project value: $206 million

In one of the most complex titling projects undertaken by our company, LandPartners provided sophisticated surveying and titling solutions for the redevelopment of the historic Macarthur Chambers building and an adjoining development site in Brisbane City.

The historic building, once the headquarters of General Macarthur, became the centrepiece of a retail centre and office tower complex known as Macarthur Central.

Developing an appropriate titling scheme for Macarthur Central involved a complex volumetric reconfiguration and creation of various volumetric easements for retail and commercial leasing purposes.

LandPartners provided a logical solution for the complex interaction of various building components and uses. Macarthur Central won the Property Council of Australia’s Ryder Hunt National Award and was a finalist in the 2004 UDIA Awards for Excellence.

Client: Hervey Bay City Council

Location: Hervey Bay, QLD

Total consultancy value: Approximately $620,000

Over 24 months, LandPartners ‘captured’ all of Hervey Bay’s community assets – everything from its water and wastewater networks to roads and street furniture – for the local Council.

The project involved locating and measuring assets, providing them with unique tags or identities, and storing information about them (including details like their current condition) on a tailored GIS database.

Our tasks included:

• low level aerial photography
• capture of ground control for the production of ortho images
• establishment of approximately 300 permanent survey marks
• aerial triangulation of photography acquired for the project
• photogrammetric data capture
• field completion and verification
• input into a MapInfo GIS database and addition of information on assets’ attributes
• production of orthophotos tiles showing the assets
• production of map contours.

LandPartners developed the project brief and implemented the asset capture process in consultation with council departments and community stakeholders.

Due to the consultative nature of this project, the data we collected on Hervey Bay assets has proved invaluable for a variety of Hervey Bay City Council development programs.

Even though this was the first project of its kind in the region, we delivered it ahead of schedule and within our agreed budget. The project received a local government award for excellence.

Client: Ok Tedi Mining Limited

Location: Tabubil, Fly Delta, Kiunga, Umuda and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea

Total consultancy value: $250,000

Over the past three years, LandPartners has assisted Ok Tedi Mining to plan and deliver diverse copper mine planning and development projects.
Most projects were located in and around the mining town of Tabubil, in the mountainous West Province region of Papua New Guinea, while some extended down the Fly Delta to Kiunga and Umuda, and across to Port Moresby.

Our roles were different for each project and we found ourselves providing expert advice, conducting data analysis, mapping or training site personnel, depending on our client’s requirements. Some of the projects we were involved with included:

• locating and analysing possible aerodrome sites for the mine
• modelling copper sediment concentrations at Kiunga township, Umuda and Port Moresby harbour moorings
• providing mapping and GIS services as part of the development of the Ok Tedi mine closure plan
• creating the Tabubil Township GIS
• mapping constraints associated with the development of a mine road from Tabubil to Kiunga
• auditing and improving on-site databases for the mine’s geology, environment and services departments
• developing asset management software to enable Ok Tedi to record detailed information about mine assets
• training site personnel in the use of GIS software.

Many of the projects were in remote areas, where challenges included communication difficulties, language and cultural barriers, and rugged terrain.

LandPartners has become an integral part of the Ok Tedi Mining team, working alongside site personnel to cost-efficiently plan and deliver mine development projects.

We are now working with four of the mine’s operational departments – environment, geology, infrastructure and community – and have developed cost-effective methods of assisting each. For example, we have created a series of ESRI Arc Pad templates for the environmental department to enable rapid input of field data into the department’s GIS.

We have also transferred some of our in-house spatial information management skills through on-site training, enabling Ok Tedi people to more effectively capture, analyse and archive data.

Client: Burnett Water (initially Sunwater)

Location: Gayndah, Burnett River, QLD

Total project value: $200 million

Total consultancy value: $900,000

LandPartners has been involved in the Burnett River Dam development project since its inception in 2002.

The 300,000 mega litre capacity dam will provide irrigation water to the region’s sugar cane farming and other industries, and will also boost urban water supplies.

Our role in the project began with mapping, orthophotos and survey for initial investigations and later involved:

• dam resumption surveys
• detail and resumption surveys for the dam access road
• management of road closures and reinstatements during construction.

The timeliness of LandPartners’ land resumption surveys and plans enabled the resumption process to proceed as planned, and dam construction contracts to be let on schedule.  

We contained our consultancy costs through efficient project management, including arranging work in small packages that could be conducted in a single site visit.

Client: Stockland

Location: Bermuda Street, Burleigh Waters, QLD

Total project value: $31.2 million

LandPartners assisted developer, Stockland, to plan a showroom complex in high-profile Bermuda Street in Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast.

Stockland had previously been granted development approval for the site, based on an outdated zoning in the former Gold Coast planning scheme.

Working closely with our client and Gold Coast City Council, LandPartners reviewed the new, very different Gold Coast planning scheme and negotiated approval to proceed with the development.

Our cooperative approach to seeking development approval resulted in a shorter than usual approval timeframe. This enabled construction to proceed on time and within budget.

The finished showroom building offers high exposure to its tenants but has a minimal impact on surrounding land uses.
