Housing - Liveable communities

As the great Australian dream evolves, so too does the approach to the way in which we live. In Australia, community living is on the rise. Whether the development is in a greenfields setting, a retirement community or a land lease community, Australia’s developments are home to an increasingly diverse range of households. This calls for a fresh approach to residential projects – one that prioritises liveable, sustainable, inclusive communities. At Urbis, our strategic, data-driven process helps clients meet the diverse needs and preferences of future residents in their residential land subdivisions and master planned communities.

We partner with clients to produce a strong, enduring vision that captures a community’s unique character and aligns with the values of its future residents. Our end-to-end approach, grounded in evidence, enables us to shape vibrant, resilient communities with a strong focus on the lived experience.

We’re involved in every aspect of liveable communities, from defining the project’s role within its broader context, to developing and testing land use scenarios for optimal yields and designing public spaces and transport networks that connect people. This includes integrating appropriate transport network provisions for all transport modes, not just private vehicle trips, community infrastructure, commercial assets and sustainability to ensure communities remain fit for the future. Our multi-disciplinary team ensures the essential infrastructure that underpins these communities is properly funded, staged and delivered – aligning financial feasibility with the timely delivery of services and public spaces.

We draw on expertise across our business to create the master plan and guide the project through engagement and approvals. As projects near completion, we evaluate and assess developments, using the insights gained to improve future communities.
