Establishing an anchor for the future of AAM in Australia
Launchpad Latrobe - Research | Design | Survey
A five-partner team delivered a first-of-its-kind concept for Advanced Air Mobility incubation in Australia, designed to be decision-ready, costed, and buildable.
The challenge
Latrobe City Council needed more than a vision. The precinct had to be grounded in evidence, sustainability, and a credible cost plan, so stakeholders could align and move toward funding and delivery with confidence.
My role
I led the program end-to-end: structuring the stages, coordinating specialists, running stakeholder alignment, and integrating research, design, sustainability, feasibility and quantity surveying into a single coherent package.
What we delivered
AAM landscape + opportunity framing
Incubation / innovation models + program needs
Sustainability brief
Sustainability implementation schedule
Design brief (conceptual + requirements)
Three stages of design development
Schematic design drawings suitable for cost planning and decision-making
Quantity survey / cost plan
Scale
