What we do

From urban development to nature reserves, we work with local authorities, developers and community organisations to revitalise tired spaces, bring life to new places and ensure locals can play a part in process.

Stakeholder & Community
Engagement

People first engagement is the foundation of everything we do.

Place Strategy and Governance

We write strategies designed to be put into action.

Too often we see place strategies, place brands or place plans sit undelivered. We create actionable frameworks, governance models and implementation programs that really work.

Our expertise includes:

Place visions and values
Place plans
Council plans and strategies
Interpretation strategies
Activation plans
Master plan and design inputs
Reverse scope and RFQ development
Grant applications

Co-design

We empower locals to shape their own place.

Co-design is the one of the most impactful ways to bring public space to life. Our approach not only results in meaningful design outcomes but simultaneously generates buy-in and place pride.

The delivery of our collaborative engagement processes bring the following stakeholders into the design journey to ensure their voices are captured in the decision making process:

Community members
Local businesses
Young people
Artists and creatives
Internal Council teams
Councillors and elected representatives
Developers

Place Activation and Events

We support communities to bring their place to life.

Nothing generates buzz and excitement about the possibilities for a place like an event or activation. From interactive tactical trials to large-scale community festivals, we maximise impact by supporting locals to get involved in bringing their own places to life.
