At Tonkin, we know how people want to live and work, and we can provide the planning, design and implementation to make it happen.
Residential land developments
Residential developers face complex challenges including optimising land values to maximise returns, navigating government regulations and approval processes, financial and time constraints, developing on difficult land and navigating environmental requirements. Tonkin’s multidisciplinary team has the experience and specialist skills to help streamline the development process.
Masterplanning and feasibility
Tonkin works with land developers, urban planners, and local and state government agencies to create desirable, character-rich communities that people want to become part of. Tonkin’s multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists have the experience and specialist expertise to help developers navigate challenges and streamline the development process.
Environmental consulting
Our multidisciplinary team of engineers and environmental scientists offer a range of services from negotiating and obtaining environmental approvals to ongoing environmental monitoring. Tonkin is experienced in helping our clients meet the relevant approval requirements and regulations for all three levels of government - local, state and federal.
Civil and earthworks
Changing landforms from a natural, semi-natural or previously developed state, to be suitable for human habitation is complex and often costly, requiring expert advice and experience. Tonkin’s engineers are experienced in designing cost-effective and innovative civil infrastructure to suit a wide range of land development projects.

Integrated planning and design
Tonkin offers a holistic service across the project lifecycle of urban development projects. We can assist from the early feasibility, masterplanning and approval stages, through to detailed design and construction phase services.
Communities where people love to live
Modern, highly-liveable communities don’t just happen by accident. Tonkin’s multi-disciplinary team is experienced in the design, planning, and development of large land areas into integrated and desirable communities, where people love to live.
Development analysis
We work with our clients to identify where enhancements and improvements can be introduced. These improvements aim to align with design best practice, political sensitivities, liveability and long-term requirements of a project, with the objective of delivering exceptional project outcomes.
Detailed design
Tonkin often works with our clients from early planning, throughout the life of the project into the detailed design phase, ultimately providing Issue for Tender and Construction documentation. This continuity of detailed knowledge and support throughout the project gives our clients peace of mind, as well as improved project outcomes.
