Shaolin is a Buddhist belief focused on people living in harmony with nature. Urbis worked closely with the Shaolin Temple Foundation (Australia) to engage stakeholders and members of the community in its plans for a Temple and tourist complex in South Nowra.

“Urbis developed a proactive engagement and media strategy which was instrumental in building trust amongst the community.
