The Urban Taskforce is a non-profit organisation representing Australia’s most prominent property developers and equity financiers. We provide 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.

The activities of the Urban Taskforce are overseen by an Executive Committee elected by the Taskforce’s membership. The committee includes some of Australia’s leading property developers.

The Urban Taskforce’s mission is to promote:
- Efficient planning and environment laws
- Quality urban design 
- Increased economic activity and
- Improved quality of life in urban communities.

History of The Urban Taskforce

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.

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 have been bipartisan in our efforts, and the past former premiers from both sides of politics have served as our patrons.

The Taskforce’s core membership is capped to 110 member organisations. It’s made up of Australia’s most prominent property developers and equity financiers. Our small, high quality, core membership is a deliberate decision. We want to remain focused on the issues raised by key players in Australia’s property development industry.

Service providers to the industry may become associate members and enjoy ‘preferred’ status. Our associate members include key builders, architects, urban planners, economists and lawyers involved in the planning and development industry.
