Strategy & Policy
At Urban Advisory, we specialise in strategy and policy development. We work across all levels of government to shape programs, policies, and legislative frameworks that deliver tangible outcomes. Our expertise spans urban planning, social not-for-profit, heritage, agriculture, emergency services, and public health.
​
Our approach combines technical insight, stakeholder engagement, and economic analysis to evaluate policy effectiveness, drive legislative reform, and support funding advocacy. We help government agencies make informed, evidence-based decisions that lead to meaningful change.

Our Expertise
Urban Planning Policy
We craft planning policy that balances growth, sustainability, and community aspirations. Our expertise delivers practical solutions that guide decision-making and create vibrant, resilient places. We collaborate with government and industry to ensure planning frameworks are clear, evidence-based, and capable of delivering meaningful outcomes that stand the test of time. Recent partners include Scenic Rim Regional Council and the City of Gold Coast. We're not just writing policy - we're building something good.
​
Economic Policy Analysis
We provide economic policy analysis to assess the broader implications of policy and regulatory decisions. Our expertise helps government agencies quantify economic impacts, improve efficiency, and support informed decision making.
​​
Program and Policy Evaluations
We assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and economic benefits of government programs to refine policies, improve outcomes, and build compelling cases for funding. Our work includes evaluations in heritage conservation, emergency services, and public health.
​
Strategic and Implementation Planning
We develop clear, actionable strategies for complex policy initiatives, ensuring effective execution. From national agricultural policies to transitioning industries and regulatory reform, we create roadmaps that align stakeholders with broader policy objectives.
​
Legislative and Policy Reform
We provide critical analysis, impact assessments, and implementation frameworks to support major legislative and policy changes. Our experience includes reforms in animal welfare, agriculture, and public health—ensuring decisions are evidence-based, socially responsible, and economically sustainable.
​
Business Cases and Funding Advocacy
We strengthen funding arguments through robust cost-benefit analyses and business cases, securing investment in essential programs and services. Our work has helped not-for-profit housing organisations, emergency response organisations, and volunteer services access the necessary resources to continue their vital work.
