Tract is a national design practice uniting landscape architecture, urban design and town planning with offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra & Geelong.
We are a professionally focused team, with shared values. We place an emphasis on creating exceptional places for our clients. Our work is distinguished by its functionality & legibility; authenticity & amenity.
Tract’s landscapes are characterised by clearly articulated design based on strong simple ideas.
Tract is a leader of landscape architecture in Australia. We have been widely recognised by peers and industry, with over eighty awards across four decades of outstanding work, as well unequalled success in design competitions.
Our work is informed by a thorough understanding of the complex inter-relationship between people and environments. We are grounded with excellent technical knowledge, design skills and a keen sense of inquiry.
As a large organisation, we are equipped to service technical; design & administration issues of projects of all scales. Much of our work is from repeat clients, a testament to our capable and creative staff; commitment to servicing, project delivery and responsiveness.
We advocate increased leadership for landscape architects to drive pragmatic, cohesive and exciting development outcomes.

Landscape Architecture
Our landscape projects include the spectrum of external places and spaces. Projects vary in scale, context and requirements.
Common to all is a commitment to the highest design quality that results in creative, dynamic, robust, site responsive outcomes that contribute positively to the environment and its inhabitants.
Tract is known for our engaging graphic communication, utilising hand drawing, CAD, and a suite of graphics programs.
Our landscape architects are supported by an in-house Graphics, 3D_Design+Visualisation department to best explore and promote our ideas.
“Tract’s vision for Gardens Point has been unfailingly accurate … it has been much more than cosmetic. It has transformed the Gardens Point campus at QUT into a modern, integrated environment that has become a pleasure to work and study in.”
Professor RD Gibson, AO
Cairns Esplanade Redevelopment, QLD
“to place on record Council’s appreciation to Tract for their efforts in providing the Cairns community with a world class waterfront by incorporating quality infrastructure with practical and creative design. The Cairns Foreshore redevelopment has been an overwhelming success.”
John Hawkes General Manager City Works & Services Cairns City Council
Tract is committed to strengthening landscape architecture as a profession through our ties with Universities and the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects (AILA).

■ The University of Melbourne (UM)
■ University of New South Wales (UNSW)
■ Queensland University of Technology (QUT)
■ University of Queensland (UQ)

The benefit to students and professional staff is reciprocal.
