Urbis helps to shape a new city for Aura

“

It’s a completely new way to think about the master planning process for the state, which will hopefully inform the delivery of new communities in the future.

Associate Director of Planning Kris Krpan says that Urbis had to start the planning processes for this new community from scratch as there were no benchmarks previously in place.

“We literally had to invent a whole new planning approach in order to get council’s approval for this complex project,” he said.

The delivery of the Aura town centre master plan has highlighted Urbis’ 5-year journey with Stockland.

It’s a sentiment echoed by Associate Director of Design Kirsten Fry, whose team provided the urban design framework.

“It’s a completely new way to think about the master planning process for the state, which will hopefully inform the delivery of new communities in the future.”

The planning and design parameters set saw the creation of many public spaces including sports parks, conservation land earmarked for renewal, health precinct, schools and transport infrastructure, as well as a planned town centre.

More than 2,000 residential lots including 2,500 apartments, units and town houses, as well as a retirement village will be created, with built-in flexibility to alter the local road configuration and lot mix in future stages if the market changes.
