Approaching each project with an open mind, we seek to foster sustainable, strategic solutions for land use, settlement, infrastructure, and community development.

From documenting a vision to outlining a clear implementation pathway, our tailored approach to strategic planning delivers strategies which appropriately balance complex and often competing issues, including tensions between growth and environmental tensions. Our approach functions to shape vibrant, resilient places where people, business and the environment thrive.

Clear, credible and professional strategic planning evidence is provided at VCAT hearings, Planning Panels and Standing Advisory Committees. Our respected expertise supports the navigation of complex planning matters with strong strategic insight.

Our team regularly appears as expert witnesses - whether as authors of strategic projects, as peer reviewers, or as independent providers of strategic planning evidence across a range of development contexts.

Our extensive experience in land use planning spans regional growth plans, rural land use strategies, structure plans, township strategies, and industrial land use strategies. We bring a bespoke mindset to each project, delivering innovative, sustainable and environmentally informed outcomes that meet the needs of both communities and businesses, while balancing appropriate environmental outcomes.

We are also willing to push the boundaries of current planning policies as they relate to matters of sustainability and taking a leading approach to addressing impacts of climate change.

Shaping vibrant, future-ready communities is central to our approach to precinct and masterplanning projects. Our project work functions to develop integrated, place-based plans that balance growth, liveability and sustainability. From initial visioning to developing detailed frameworks, our team, in collaboration with urban design, delivers strategic, design-led solutions to guide successful development and investment.

Clear and focused strategic policy and advocacy advice is central to our work across all areas of strategic planning and its intersections with related disciplines. We take an evidence-based approach to analysing and drafting policies that guide decision-makers and shape better planning outcomes. With deep sector knowledge and strong stakeholder networks, we help clients lead conversations, influence policy development (or its review), and achieve appropriate land use and development outcomes.

Strategic policy reviews are carried out across a range of contexts to strengthen planning frameworks and clarify policy intent. We regularly undertake strategic policy reviews with a mindset focused on updating and refining policies to keep pace with changing priorities and legislation. Our expert analysis delivers clear, actionable recommendations that enhance clarity, effectiveness and impact.

Appropriate and detailed engagement on all strategic work is the key to project success. Difficult conversations and conflicting points of view are not avoided, as hearing and discussing these issues firsthand gives projects the best chance of success. To support this, inclusive and effective engagement strategies are designed and delivered to build trust, inform decision-making, and reflect diverse community voices. From workshops to digital outreach, a tailored approach ensures genuine participation and lasting impact.
