UrbanTalk isn’t just a publishing tool it’s a total communication strategy designed specifically for the urban development sector.
We work with you to create a digital Project Listing that establishes the public identity of your project. We clearly explain your development’s objectives, benefits, and design in a way the public understands.
Your Listing becomes the central source of truth for your project — accessible 24/7 to residents, media, concurrence and Consent Authorities. Updates can be made at anytime as your project evolves, ensuring the information remains accurate and relevant.
Our Project Listings attract thousands of visitors, build credibility and consumer confidence in your project, which translates to local support and interest in presales.

Fewer objections mean fewer delays, redesigns, and escalating holding costs.
Show you’re engaging proactively and transparently with the community.

UrbanTalk supports a wide range of developers across a broad range of projects – from boutique residential to state-significant projects, master plans, mixed-use precincts and even out-of-home advertising.
“…the proposal has benefited from extensive consultation between the Applicant, Council and community and concurs with Council that the DA achieves the required standard for development…”
— Sydney North Planning Panel, Audrey in St. Leonards
“The UrbanTalk Project Listing launched the project with confidence and clarity. It has been in place through site acquisition, design, development approval and now construction, becoming the trusted hub for community inquiry and project updates. It has been invaluable in building community understanding about the project, so much so that the concept and stage 1 development applications attracted zero public submissions.”

“The consultative process and project listing were key to the low number of objections and fast approval process.”
