Areas of Practice
URBAN DESIGN
Urbanac navigates the space between planning, architecture and development. We specialise in solving complex urban problems, identifying project pressure points and the urban “acupuncture” needed to unblock them. Sometimes success depends less on changing the design than changing the conversation around it. Urbanac helps clients develop winning strategies for complex projects.

Urbanac provides independent urban design review that is clear, practical and constructive. When you need design excellence evidence our fresh perspective can test assumptions, identify opportunities and help design teams achieve stronger outcomes. Where agreement can’t be reached, Urbanac is your design advocate, providing independent witness services to help you in Court with experience assisting in more than 100 Land and Environment Court matters.
