Announcing TPG-Place Match 

TPG – Town Planning, Urban Design and Heritage has joined forces with specialist place-making consultancy, Place Match, to create an exclusive one-stop shop for place creation in Western Australia.

The alliance cements TPG-Place Match as Australia’s only multi-disciplinary agency to offer end-to-end place creation as part of the company’s town planning and urban design staples.

Since its inception in 2011, Place Match has become WA’s most sought after place making firm, offering niche expertise in place visioning and branding, destination planning, place activation and management.

With TPG at the forefront of town planning and urban design in WA for more than two decades, the merger has seen the marrying of Place Match’s exclusive offerings with TPG’s existing services, including strategic and statutory planning, urban design, place planning, heritage and cultural planning and community and stakeholder engagement.

TPG and Place Match found aligned synergy while working together on several ventures, including the Perth Cultural Centre Place Plan, the Curtin University project and several regional revitalisation and enhancement projects in Bunbury, Morawa and Esperance.

TPG Australia Managing Director Tony Paduano said the merger enabled the firm to further develop its strong place shaping and creation expertise to a new level of sophistication and creativity for the property and community development sectors.

“It’s an exciting time,” Mr Paduano said. “The business culture at TPG Australia has always been one of embracing change and not being afraid to explore business and growth opportunities that add real value to our clients.”
