Urban Planning

Shaping and connecting communities

Urban planning lays the foundation for resilient communities. Our planners collaborate with engineers, designers, and environmental specialists to deliver integrated solutions tailored to local context and long-term needs. From due diligence to masterplanning and engagement, we bring clarity, creativity, and precision to every stage. With national reach and local insight, we help clients unlock their project¡¯s full potential.

Masterplanned Communities

We bring together project teams including clients, engineers, and designers to create cohesive, people-centred communities. From early visioning through to delivery, our approach integrates land use, transport, open space, and sustainability to support vibrant, connected neighbourhoods.

Strategic and Statutory Planning

Our urban planners provide strategic advice and statutory planning services to deliver client approvals. We can support all types of planning approvals from rezoning, development applications, and environmental assessments, with a goal of delivering outcomes that are both feasible and future-focused.

Due Diligence and Site Selection

We help clients make confident, informed decisions from day one. Our due diligence service combines site selection with a comprehensive assessment of planning constraints, environmental risks, infrastructure capacity, and development potential. Whether you're acquiring land, preparing a business case, or progressing a concept, we deliver clear, actionable insights that reduce uncertainty and support smarter investment.

Feasibility and Constraints Mapping

When you're developing a site or concept, we help you see the full picture¡ªearly. Our feasibility and constraints mapping service identifies risks, limitations, and opportunities from the outset, giving you the clarity to move forward with confidence. By integrating geotechnical, civil, planning, and spatial data, we deliver practical insights that inform smarter planning, reduce rework, and support resilient, cost-effective outcomes.
