What Ferndene Studio Does

Ferndene Studio is a landscape architecture and planning practice operating in Tasmania. The firm combines design expertise with planning knowledge to deliver projects from initial concept through to detailed planning instruments and landscape implementation. The practice operates as a partnership between two principals who bring complementary skills in landscape architecture and statutory planning.

Landscape Architecture Services

The firm provides landscape design services that integrate with planning requirements under the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993. The practice prepares landscape plans for development applications and creates design solutions that respond to site constraints and opportunities. Services include landscape master planning, detailed design documentation, and landscape management strategies that support planning approval processes.

Planning Services

Ferndene Studio prepares planning applications and planning scheme amendments that incorporate landscape considerations. The practice works within Tasmania's planning framework to develop planning instruments that recognise landscape values and design opportunities. The team carries out strategic planning work that balances development potential with environmental and landscape protection requirements.

Professional Background and Experience

The practice holds expertise across landscape architecture and planning disciplines through its principal practitioners. The firm operates with recognition of the interconnections between design, planning policy, and land management practices. This dual expertise allows the practice to address both statutory planning requirements and landscape design outcomes within single project frameworks.

Service Coverage

The firm serves clients across Tasmania, working on projects that require integration of landscape architecture and planning expertise. The practice covers both urban and rural contexts, addressing projects from small-scale residential developments through to larger strategic planning initiatives that require landscape input.
