In 1999, the founding members of the Urban Taskforce saw that property developers and equity financiers had a unique perspective – contrasting with the views of dedicated asset managers and many property consultants.

That’s why they banded together and formed the “NSW Urban Taskforce” to foster close working relations with all levels of government and to seek better outcomes for development and planning issues.

Since then the Taskforce has been working hard at promoting policies that boost property development. Our efforts have helped both the property development industry as well as the wider community who enjoy the benefits of new property assets.

We are now “Urban Taskforce Australia” with a national membership made up of Australia’s most prominent property developers and equity financiers. Our membership also includes key builders, architects, urban planners, economists and lawyers involved in the planning and development industry.

The Taskforce’s membership is capped to 85 member organisations. Our small, but high quality, membership is a deliberate decision. We want to remain focused on the issues raised by key players in Australian property development.

The Urban Taskforce will continue to be a forum for people involved in the development and planning of the urban environment to engage in constructive dialogue with both government and the community.
