U PLAN has proven substantial experience and the professional skills to undertake any Retirement Village and Relocatable Home Park related landscape architectural design project. U PLAN's creative and highly consultative approach means we work with the client to produce a cost effective landscape outcome.

From upgrades of existing facilities to planning new developments, our range of professional landscape products are practical, highly focused and ensure that the desired market position of the development is reinforced through the total presentation of the property.

Our preferred approach from the outset of any project is to work closely with the client as part of a multi-disciplinary design team. This ensures that the design of all external works including vehicle and pedestrian circulation systems, drainage and provision of open space/recreational facilities result in a strong integration between built form, infrastructure and landscape.

U PLAN has also provided the planning, management and auditing role to assist in the establishment of on site plant nurseries. We enjoy an open working association with a number of commercial operators where we can review ‘tried and true’ techniques, that further ensure our planning and design products reflect best practise and achievable operational standards.

Client benefits include a high demand for accommodation where the physical environment of the facility creates an enviable setting for people to live or stay, environmentally responsive surrounds, cost savings in maintenance, reduced incidences of vandalism and anti social behaviour and corporate profile through awards and recognition.
