Infrastructure advisory services
Clear advice on development options
Starting a big project can be complicated and confusing, and without insights on the most economical and logical areas to develop your project’s site and infrastructure can challenge your budget and time.
Primarily for large developers and government clients, our Infrastructure Advisory Services provides an infrastructure plan, clear advice, and options for the best delivery of a development project, precinct, or city. We also don’t just focus on the enabling infrastructure; we see environment and sustainability considerations and additional elements like parks, schools and hospitals as other important infrastructure to create great places to live.
Service details
Plan your approach to the development, remove unnecessary delays and yield the best cost and timing of the works. Service inclusions are:
- Know when you can build your project based on the estimated delivery of key government-led infrastructure
- Receive the best staging advice for development areas (where to start, housing yields, pace of development, enabling infrastructure, social infrastructure, environment aspects and sustainability initiatives)
- Understand the optimal infrastructure staging plan that Government Agencies and Service Utility Authorities endorse
- Understand the “who” and “when” of infrastructure funding and delivery and expectations of ownership and maintenance
- Identify the entire potential infrastructure with the project team – enabling infrastructure (sewer, electricity, water, roads) and supporting infrastructure (cycle paths, parks, schools, community centres), knowing where and when to build them
You’ll receive evidence-based, impartial advice and a stage-by-stage infrastructure plan, knowing where to spend funds on the most efficient delivery of site and housing. The IDC team will guide you through the possibilities, ensuring your full awareness of the options and why they matter.

IDC partnered with GLN Planning to prepare a Section 7.12 Plan for the Western Sydney Aerotropolis.
