Urban economic and feasibility

Integrated infrastructure planning

We help you shape successful projects from the ground up. We specialise in planning, feasibility and approvals strategies that de-risk development and pave the way for confident investment and timely delivery.

Urban development planning

We provide urban development planning services grounded in delivery. We help clients navigate land use, feasibility, approvals and infrastructure coordination to deliver fundable, buildable, and community-aligned outcomes.

Our work spans adaptive reuse, infill and greenfield development, with a focus on planning for complex sites and constrained delivery contexts. We’ve led precinct-scale strategies for mixed-use projects in flood-affected towns, aligning social and community infrastructure with place-based need, funding pathways, and development approvals.

We integrate planning with capital strategy, delivery sequencing, and stakeholder alignment to accelerate projects from concept to construction. Our regional experience and real-world infrastructure knowledge ensure that plans aren’t just visionary, they’re viable.

Urban and master planning

We deliver master planning services that bring community, service and infrastructure needs into one integrated vision. Our focus is on precincts with complex constraints, where planning must serve multiple uses, respond to disaster recovery, or knit fragmented spaces back together.

We’ve led planning for multi-use community precincts, transforming disused and flood-affected sites into co-located hubs for housing, services and training. Our work combines urban design, adaptive reuse, capital alignment and stakeholder-led decision-making to shape plans that are locally grounded and ready for delivery.

Our approach embeds place-making and activation strategy from the outset, with a strong emphasis on feasibility and use. Good master plans don’t sit on shelves, they unlock funding, support partnerships, and get built.

Urban economic and feasibility

Our urban economic and feasibility services unlock value, secure funding, and align projects with real community outcomes. Our work goes beyond spreadsheets to address the social, cultural, and delivery factors that shape real-world success.

We specialise in feasibility for community-serving infrastructure: crisis and social housing, community hubs, co-located service centres, and town centre renewal. Our team translates housing and infrastructure need into investable projects by aligning land use, planning pathways, and capital delivery logic.

Social impact assessment (SIA) is central to our feasibility offering. We use SIA to assess community need, anticipate risk, and define the social return on investment. Our assessments include stakeholder profiling, service system mapping, and cultural considerations, particularly in flood-affected or high-risk environments.

We align feasibility work with the priorities of key funding programs such as Housing Australia, Homes NSW, and the Regional Housing Fund. We focus on delivery viability, making sure projects can be funded, built, and supported by their communities.

Integrated infrastructure planning

We develop integrated infrastructure strategies that coordinate land use, services, funding, and delivery. Our work aligns the timing, location, and design of infrastructure to support sustainable growth, community resilience, and effective investment.

We specialise in stitching together complex infrastructure requirements — including transport, utilities, housing, and social infrastructure — into clear, fundable programs of work. Our approach helps clients translate long-term planning into practical delivery, sequencing, and funding roadmaps.

Our work supports both regional resilience and urban renewal. We understand how to navigate interdependencies, capital constraints, and stakeholder complexity across multi-asset environments. We integrate service needs, land use outcomes, and community priorities into a coherent planning and delivery pathway.
