Sustainable Urbanisation
Embedding nature as a core component of the urban environment is critical to mitigating the well-known biodiversity impacts urbanisation causes. We believe this approach makes up the core of healthy, happy and vibrant communities, where people living within these places are key beneficiaries. A focus on walkable and cyclable vibrant street networks, that promote interaction between community members to promote wellbeing, is integral to achieve through project design and delivery.
By undertaking a ‘Biodiverse Urbanism Approach’ we look at alternative ways to value existing on-site biodiversity, while also looking to promote and build biodiversity in the fabric of the urban sphere, benefitting both communities and the planet.

Waverley
Waverley is an exciting new project in Launceston, Tasmania. Focussed on working the areas’ unique natural assets, with an emphasis on providing housing diversity to best address the community’s needs. A focus on biodiverse green spaces will promote a human-nature connection throughout the site, making this project a great example of our biodiverse urbanism approach.
Glen Junor
Glen Junor is a new model for urbanisation in a way that benefits the people in the community and the environment around them. 50% of the land is a masterplanned urban village, creating a walkable neighbourhood designed according to community need, that will become one of the most environmentally regenerative communities on the planet. The remaining 50% of the land is for open space and community assets that will be co-designed and created with the residents of Gisborne, for the benefit of the town today and into the future.
Whitestone Point
Whitestone Point, located on the banks of the Derwent River in Austins Ferry, Hobart, is a new urban development that exemplifies Sharps Track’s approach to sustainable urban development. The development showcases their expertise in integrating natural ecosystems with landscape design and community amenities, creating a harmonious balance between nature and modern living.
