What EPCAD does

EPCAD Pty Ltd is a privately held Australian landscape architecture and urban design firm founded in 1992 and headquartered in Perth, Western Australia. The studio employs 2 Directors and 13 staff (15 total), with team members recruited internationally and possessing project experience across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, South East Asia, China and Australia. EPCAD provides an integrated suite of professional design services spanning landscape architecture, urban design, masterplanning, place making, environmental planning, environmental integration, water management (with recognized leadership in Water Sensitive Urban Design), heritage and cultural landscape design, play space design, resort design, expert witness services, habitat creation, public consultation, mixed-use precincts, development frameworks, landscape management, civic spaces, communication services, and art integration.

The firm serves a client base weighted toward Western Australian property developers (Satterley Property Group, Stockland, PEET, Cedar Woods Properties, Jandakot City) and local government bodies (City of Mandurah, City of Rockingham, City of Stirling, Port Hedland Port Authority), with additional work for educational institutions (Curtin University) and resources clients (BHP via FORM). Service delivery is project-based via direct appointments, tenders, and repeat engagements, supported by long-tenured co-consultant relationships with architects (Buchan, Gresley Abas, Peter Hunt and Daryl Jackson), planners (TBB), and cultural partners (FORM).

The firm operates as a founder-controlled lifestyle professional services practice with no external institutional investment, no disclosed revenue, and no quantified growth signals. Its market position is built on award-winning Water Sensitive Urban Design work (UDIA Awards 2010, 2011; WA Water Award 2008; Property Council Best Community Infrastructure), 30+ years of operating continuity, and a deep talent bench of internationally experienced designers.
