23.01.2022 Urbanista is proud to support this local Melanoma Awareness fundraising event.

22.01.2022 Urbanista was once again happy to be involved with Manos Projects to come up with a TownPlanning solution for this heavily constrained site in Goodna. https://www.ipswichfirst.com.au/where-major-new-medical-ce/

21.01.2022 Its always good to see projects that Urbanista has been involved with come to fruition. Ben Cowan as the lead Town Planner, sub consulting to Planning Initiatives for Serra Property Group negotiated the development approval with Brisbane City Council for the redevelopment of the 38 High Street, Toowong, right next to the Royal Excahange Hotel. It is a mixed use development, containing 12 levels of appartments above double height ground level retail / enteratinment tenancies, ...with basement car park access of Ebor Lane. 38 High Street, Toowng is now compleeted and selling well, as the project was well designed by LVO Arhcitects and the timing of its delivery was spot on for the inner west market. Even well renowed property market researcher and analyst Michael Matusik was impressed. See his previous commentary on the project at the link below. https://vimeo.com/67364927 See more

21.01.2022 Downey Park Netball Association Club House up and running!

21.01.2022 Its always good to see projects that Urbanista Town Planning have been involved with getting off the ground. Here is a few construction photo's of the redevelopment of the former Booval Milk Depot, showing the new road construction for the master subdivision, including the retention of the feature Jacaranda tree's in the entrance median.

20.01.2022 The good news keeps on coming. Another project where Urbanista contracting to Planning Initiatives managed to make the local paper for the right reasons!http://www.couriermail.com.au//8122f1a0252c7a79feaa36b9428

19.01.2022 Great to see another Urbanista Town Planning approval starting to make its way out of the ground!

19.01.2022 Keeping a keen eye on the progress of this project from one of Urbanista's clients!!!

18.01.2022 It was hard work to resolve this tricky 1 into 3 lot subdivision approved on steep land backing onto the Western Freeway in Indooroopilly. After a year of negotiating the lot design, fill levels, bushfire management, storm-water discharge, safe driveway access and street tree retention, with both Council and Transport & Main Roads, we got there in the end. https://www.realestate.com.au/property-residential%20land-q

17.01.2022 Probably the most satisfying project Urbanista has been involved in as the lead Town Planner, sub consulting to Planning Initiatives for the Leukaemia Foundation Qld ‘ESA Village’ which includes 30 two and three bedroom fully furnished units within a multi-storey complex in Dutton Park, in Brisbane’s south. The village is built around a large grassed courtyard and is set among landscaped gardens. Covered walkways provide wheelchair access and link the comfortable, spacious and air-conditioned units.

17.01.2022 Urbanista Town Planning Services is proud to have worked with Manos Projects to come up with a workable development solution for this flood affected site in Goodna. https://www.couriermail.com.au//2d2d469a8ab7673e260c40d79a

16.01.2022 It was more than 15 years in the making. Since Ben Cowan from Urbanista was working in Council assessing and approving the first residential estates in the Brisbane City Council part of Rochedale as it redeveloped from farming land, through to subcontracting to Planning Initiatives as the lead Town Planner for the Rochedale Town Centre development and also the relocation of the Uniting Church to its new site along Rochedale Road. Finally what is now know as Rochedale Village opened last October to much fanfare, but we were to busy to post about it then. Good things comes to those who wait.

16.01.2022 Great to be involved in this Project assisting Planning Initiatives to preapre a submission too justify why the Fortitude Valley Special Entertainment Precinct should be amended to include the state of the art Triffid venue. A good outcome for all. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au//valley-entertainment-prec

16.01.2022 At Urbanista Town Planning, We are focused on the sustainable and efficient use of land within urban areas, like this project in Corinda, where our clients relocated this attractive character house to the corner of the existing block, giving it the street presence it deserves and freeing up land either side for new allotments.

15.01.2022 Always good to help existing business's resolve their issues with Council. On this project in West End, we helped the owner of Westmont Accommodation increase their number of short term accommodation suits within the existing building. So now more visitors can experience the West End lifestyle and views to the CBD.

14.01.2022 It be nice if we could get to live in some of the residential projects Urbanista has worked on, like this one from Annie Street, New Farm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hf6CfIjYJkA

14.01.2022 Another great project assisted by Urbanista Town Planning starting to come out of the ground.https://www.news.com.au//news-story/dc281c6a1458974abd7a80

14.01.2022 Great to be working with Manos Projects on this Ipswich redevelopment!

14.01.2022 Urbanista will be presenting on the Town Planning process for building new houses and extending existing houses in Redlands City Council in association with BNI Bayside. If your thinking of building a new home you can pick up some great tips at this event next Wednesay 20th June 2018.

14.01.2022 Things keep on keeping on at Urbanista Town Planning even when working from home during the current pandemic. Last week on behalf of Manos Project, we prepared and lodged the Town Planning application to Ipswich City Council for Stage 2 of the former Jacaranda Milk Factory redevelopment being a 1,990sqm mixed medical and retail centre, comprising 10 tenancies over basement parking, but keeping 3 iconic Jacarada trees along the street frontage. Here's the Architects 3D view of the proposal.

13.01.2022 Urbanista loves to work on urban renewal project making the most of under-utilized inner city sites. Here's the latest one where Urbanista has undertaken the town planning role successfully negotiating a development approval with Ipswich City Council at the old Jacaranda Milk Depot at North Booval for Manos Projects. See the before and after (proposed) images below!

13.01.2022 Always a pleasure to work with the great Architects at Bligh Graham Architecture. They take the time to really understand their clients needs and transform them into wonderfully function and aesthetic designs. Happy to play a small role in another one of their great renovation and extension projects in West End. https://greenmagazine.com.au/article/local-knowledge/

08.01.2022 Nothing is ever simple in Brisbane anymore. Sure it wasn't great news for our clients, when Brisbane City Council issued an emergency Heritage Listing on this house, well after they had gone unconditional on the purchase and We had lodged the Town Planning application to subdivide this 3,000sqm property into 6 lots. The clients had even already obtained a demolition approval from a Building Certifier a month earlier. But through some tough negotiations between two very aggreived parties, We were able to get there in the end, agreeing to retain and relocate the pre-1946 part of the existing house onto the front corner of the site and still achieve 6 lot subdivision. https://www.brisbanetimes.com.au//history-of-nudgee-bungal

08.01.2022 57 Annie Street, New Farm Key Issues - 100% GFA, Overland Flow, Building Length & Bulk, Front Setbacks, Refuse Collection & Servicing, Infrastructure Charges.

08.01.2022 The redevelopment of the old Milk Depot at 111 Jacaranda Street, North Booval is really starting to take shape with the new road construction completed and the first land use 'Kaleidescope Kids Child Care Centre' ready to open. What a great project to be a part of. See a flyover of the site below. https://www.realvisuals.com/sitevideo/hb636827d#hb636827d

08.01.2022 The show must go on. One of our biggest projects over the last couple of years, Urbanista as the lead Town Planner, sub consulting to Planning Initiatives for United Cinemas negotiated the development approval with Brisbane City Council for the redevelopment of the Eldorado Cinema at Indooroopilly for a mixed use development comprising a new multi (10 cinema) complex, compleete with outdoor cinema, indoor ten bin bowling, tavern, shops and restuarants underneath two residential / short term accomodation towers (20 and 17-storeys). This should really bring Station Road alive for residents of the inner west. See more details at the link below. http://www.couriermail.com.au//0291d917d3337c638dffd01a6f4

07.01.2022 If you own an older looking house in Brisbane or know someone who does and thought the Council did not have it listed for protection, think again. Brisbane City Council on the 7th December 2016, without notice, introduced a new Temporary Local Planning Instrument that now protects around 200 previously unprotected pre 1911 houses from demolition without a Counicl approval. As well as the usual inner city suspects the list includes houses in suburbs as far afield as Bald Hills, Wavell Heights, Hemmant, Sandgate and Rocklea. Check out the list below.

07.01.2022 Proud to work on the Best Place, Tingalpa, development. Sensitive Suburban Infill Housing, making the best use of existing brownfields sites is what we love doing at Urbanista.

06.01.2022 The face of retail development is constantly changing. One of the current trends linking higher quality retail & cafe offerings into service station refurbishments. Could it be the first step of the return of fuel of being just one of the goods purchases made at your local convenience store? Just like the old days but in a modern context. See the link below to short news artical on the subject that features an Urbanista Town Planing Services approval for the Puma Service Station at Bennets Road Norman Park. http://www.couriermail.com.au//af6d93134847d308e8ec7ada04e

06.01.2022 Almost 15 years have past since Benjamin Cowan from Urbanista was an Executive Planner managing development in the historic Irish Town of Trim. Not much has changed since then and Trim remains largely preserved in its medi evil history. Great for tourists, archaeologists and retiree's. Not so great for those who undertake the long commute daily to Dublin for work and return home too tired to really enjoy the town the call home. For more information on the history of Trim see the link below http://iafs.ie/index.php/trim

04.01.2022 Goes to show what a great Architect and some hard negotiating from an experienced Town Planner can deliver!

04.01.2022 It's a pleasure working with Manos Projects to bring run down commercial areas back to life providing places that local residents and workers can enjoy. http://manosprojects.com.au/portf/59-brisbane-road-redbank/

03.01.2022 And also look inside the new childcare centre.

03.01.2022 Happy to work with the SoapBox Beer guy's to get the Town Planning approval sorted out for their new Fortitude Valley micro-brewery. Keep an eye out for the Soapbox Beer opening soon in the Valley and venture in an sample some products. You may see Urbanista in their also on the odd occasion, but purely for professional purposes of course! https://www.soapbox.beer/

03.01.2022 Urban Regeneration Projects are the most satisfying. Here's one from 2012 that is still going strong, where Urbanista were the town planners for in Redbank. http://manosprojects.com.au/portf/59-brisbane-road-redbank/

02.01.2022 Urbanista, through its association with PI Home Pty Ltd works with some great local Architects to make the most of people pride and joy. Check out this West End house renovation by Bligh Graham Architects http://blighgraham.com.au/project/west-end-house/

02.01.2022 Urbanista was happy to play its role negotiating town planning approval for this new venture.

01.01.2022 Retirement and Aged Care provision in Brisbane is a hot development topic at the moment with some significant shortages of nursing home bed supply in parts of north Brisbane. Hoping that attending tonights Urban Developer Magaizinr event focusing on the subject and BCC's new Aged Care Strategy will shed some light on new ways to meet the city's growing needs in this sector, which will help our aged care clients, struggling to find cost effective sites to service this demand. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/aged-care-living-is-the-dev
