We work with state and local government, community, developers and other precinct scale stakeholders such as education institutions to develop contextually responsive and highly integrated sustainability solutions for urban renewal, suburban and regional development projects.

Working at scale, decisions are amplified in their impact, so robust decision making is critical to set up future business and residential communities for success. Our place-based approach to sustainability supports liveable, resilient, and connected communities.

Our precincts work can be delivered either as a standalone project or seamlessly integrated with other disciplines as part of broader precinct planning, design and delivery.

• Climate response planning
• Sustainability framework and strategy development
• Evidence base development for urban renewal and growth area planning
• Integrated precinct opportunities analysis and planning
• Climate adaptation plans
• Net zero strategy (including Climate Active precincts)
• Green Star Communities and One Planet certifications

We work with local governments, community groups and organisations to co-create organisation-wide and whole-of-community responses to climate change.

Drawing on the latest evidence, we seek to deeply understand the local context and environment, the specific risks and opportunities posed by climate change to ensure that the response is aligned with organisational and community priorities.

Our Strategy work can also be integrated with other municipal strategy development including Community Plans and Health and Wellbeing plans.

• Climate emergency response strategy and planning
• Corporate and community zero carbon plans
• Climate risk assessment and adaptation response planning
• Sustainability strategy
• Community and stakeholder engagement
• Implementation assistance
