Tract assisted Reading Entertainment to obtain Development Plan approval for a mixed use development comprising major retail, leisure and entertainment facilities at the former brickworks site on Middleborough Road, Burwood. In particular, Tract provided town planning and landscape architecture services on the project.

The site forms a significant part of the Burwood Heights Major Activity Centre and is a benchmark project to facilitate live/work and mixed use activities under the Melbourne 2030 Activity Centre program.

Burwood Square will comprise over 35,000sqm of retail floorspace, a multi-screen cinema complex, up to 700 dwellings, 20,000sqm of office floorspace, leisure and entertainment facilities, and community services all based around a “main street” retail/entertainment precinct and urban plaza.

Tract played a vital role in the planning and landscape decisions of Burwood Square. In particular, Tract was actively involved in coordinating the specialist consultant team comprising engineers, architects, site rehabilitation, flora and fauna, arborists, community infrastructure and economic experts. The approvals process included extensive discussion and negotiation with a range of local and state government authorities, including the Priority Development Panel. The Development Plan was approved by Whitehorse City Council in November 2008.

Tract will offer planning and landscape design services to facilitate permit approval for staged development of the site. Upon completion Burwood Square will be a lifestyle destination encouraging opportunities to live and work with proximity to existing transport options.
