Agriculture and Agribusiness

Agribusiness has always been a key economic strength and pillar of our regional communities. As Asia’s food bowl, Australian agribusiness and agriculture is poised for growth.

Atlas combines skills in land use, economics, and valuations, combined with our unique background in regional economics, to identify and support viable agribusiness opportunities.

Business and Commercial Uses 

Understanding the requirements of different industries is one of our fundamental skill sets. It is critical in a period of structural change.

We assist clients in understanding what land uses will work, be it commercial office, retail, enterprise, showroom, or some hybridized blend. From data to decisions, we ensure planning for business uses is commercially viable and sustainable.

Culture & Community

It is undeniable that communities thrive when there is access to communal and shared spaces. Places where people can meet, learn, create, and relax.
This includes a wide range of communal spaces – including childcare, sporting facilities or libraries. We provide the economic and financial analysis needed to make effective use of funding sources.

Economic Development

Governments can play a critical role in stimulating economic development to create vibrant cities and regions. Whether through direct investment, training initiatives, financial incentives, promotion,and marketing or simply relationship building, we assist Governments to ensure economic development is the catalyst in turning plans to places.

Industrial Uses

Industrial lands are the organs of healthy and modern cities. The building blocks of our economy - freight and logistics, manufacturing, data centres, storage, and critical urban services - rely upon well-located industrial land.

Atlas are industry experts in industrial lands and are relied upon by industry and government to guide industrial land use planning.

Affordable Housing

Atlas is recognised as a market leader in Australia’s Affordable Housing sector. We advise on policy, contribution mechanisms and development opportunities on behalf of the Government, housing providers and developers. Leveraging our expertise in land economics and valuation, we strive to bring simplicity to an important sector.

Infrastructure

Proper integration of public infrastructure investment with land use planning is one of the critical challenges facing the Government.

Atlas understands how land uses respond to infrastructure and has built a reputation for providing insightful advice on how to maximise the economic returns of public investment in infrastructure, from project appraisal to precinct planning and staging.

Public Policy

Policy makers are facing some of the most complex structural issues in generations. Atlas is renowned for providing robust, evidence-based insights to inform forward thinking policy decisions. From insights to impacts, we draw upon our depth of knowledge and experience to find solutions to wicked problems in the land use, housing and infrastructure space.

Residential Uses

We understand the fine balance between market need and development feasibility, combining our unique blend of property economics, economics and valuation expertise.
