Principals' Vision

Our vision for Sydney is one of vibrant, connected communities that honor the city's unique character while embracing sustainable innovation. As leading urban planning consultants, we're creating places where modern living seamlessly blends with the spirit of our harbour city.

From bustling urban centres to leafy neighbourhood enclaves, each BGA project adds a new chapter to Sydney's evolving story. We bring fresh thinking and design excellence to transform how residents live, work and connect for generations to come.

Our team envisions a Sydney that sets new benchmarks for urban living - a city where sustainability is woven into the fabric of every development, and good design enhances quality of life. We craft neighbourhoods that cultivate stronger, more cohesive communities, not divide them.

By respecting Sydney's people, heritage and future, we're shaping a city that leads Australia in progressive, sustainable urban planning. Our work today is building the foundations for Sydney's tomorrow

We bring a wealth of experience in the planning field.
