Working alongside Tango Projects, and architects FK and Cera Stribley, for client Metrics Credit Partners, Tract provided town planning and landscape architecture services to support the project. Facilitated through the State Government’s Clause 53.23 ‘Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing’ pathway, the approval for the 1.5-hectare site is among the early major developments to progress within Macaulay following the recent gazettal of new controls for the precinct, indicating emerging opportunities within this area.

The approved development comprises three precincts connected by a central public open space and active transport corridor, delivering a mix of Build to Sell, Build to Rent and Affordable Housing, with a significant 16% of dwellings to be delivered as affordable housing. The mixed-use development will also include a supermarket, co-working spaces, retail, gym and café uses, while integrating the heritage-listed Farrell’s Stables building into the broader precinct.
