OUR BURCHILL
PARTNERS HERITAGE
Burchill
Partners was a closely integrated planning and
consulting engineering practice, founded in 1974 on the
Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia, where it was
involved in the planning and/or engineering
infrastructure design of a huge proportion of that
region's urban development.
Most of the consultancy focus of Burchill Partners was
civil and structural engineering and environmental
sciences, however the company always had an active urban
planning unit and on the international stage most of its
work was planning oriented.
The extraordinary growth of the Gold Coast, as
Australia's premier tourist destination and a major
investment centre within the Pacific Basin, provided
remarkable opportunities for participation in many major
developments, including the signature projects of
Robina, Sanctuary Cove, Hope Island Resort, and The
Sovereign Islands. Present personnel of BPDC were significantly involved in the concept
formulation and/or the on-going concept development of
these projects.
In the late 1980s Burchill Partners recognised that the
pace of development in south east Queensland in major
new residential communities, integrated resorts and
waterfront projects could not continue to provide
ongoing opportunities for the application and further
development of the company's experience and skills in
these specialised areas. However vast opportunities were
evident in the application of the company's unique
expertise to similar large scale projects in Asia. Mark
Windsor, a Director and Partner of Burchill Partners,
led its Overseas Division, whose personnel are today
incorporated within BPDC.
Burchill Partners was almost unique in its specialised
focus upon urban development and in its integration of
consulting engineering and urban and statutory planning.
This tradition of professional blending created a
culture of cross-discipline understanding and
responsiveness which greatly enhances the work today of
BPDC.
In 2006, Burchill Partners became a founding member of a
public listed Group and was subsequently absorbed within
that Group's Consulting Division with a focus on core
civil and structural engineering disciplines principally
within Australia. |
