Our Services

We're there for diverse and integrated experience

We bring together expertise in planning, environment, landscape architecture, surveying, urban design, and project delivery, with a strong foundation in policy, research and advocacy, and with a YIMBY (Yes in My Backyard) mindset.

With capabilities spanning placemaking, master planning, community engagement, ecology, bushfire management, 3D spatial analysis, and strategic advisory, we use our collective knowledge to empower communities, support housing diversity, and shift perceptions around good development – to create stronger, better-connected communities.

Our services have evolved over three decades to meet growing demand for specialised, place-focused expertise – blending expert technical knowledge with innovative strategic thinking and change leadership capability.

Our professionals work across strategic placemaking, urban design and landscape architecture, surveying and spatial analysis, ecology, bushfire management and more…but this is only part of what makes our approach unique.

We lead with insight, delivering outcomes that reflect the unique needs of every project. We thrive on collaboration – working closely with clients and our trusted network of partners to tailor solutions that respond to real‑world challenges.

Through curiosity, creativity and deep knowledge, we help our clients move from complexity to clarity, achieving better outcomes for their projects and the communities they serve.

Advisory Expertise Across Disciplines

As part of our role in policy and change leadership, we provide tailored advisory services to our clients across a wide range of disciplines and sectors.

From strategic planning and policy development to technical insights and research, our team brings deep expertise to help navigate complex challenges and deliver better outcomes for projects and communities.

Commercial + Strategic Advisory

As trusted advisors, our commercial and strategic advisory services give our clients the clarity and confidence to make the best decision for their project.

Our due diligence approach goes beyond simple compliance to help you navigate risk, identify opportunities and unlock value to ensure projects are positioned for success from the very start.

Community + Stakeholder Engagement

At Therefor Group, we understand that early engagement with key stakeholders and the community is an essential step for any successful project.

We pride ourselves on our fully integrated, multidisciplinary approach which seamlessly aligns engagement with planning, design and commercial objectives to advance project outcomes, strengthen community relationships and create lasting value.

By leveraging the expertise of our diverse team, we identify challenges and opportunities, manage risk, and communicate a clear vision, helping to build stronger better-connected communities.

Development Approvals

Securing development approvals can be complex, and experience matters. With extensive collective knowledge, we guide and advise our clients through every stage of the process to ensure clarity, confidence and successful outcomes.

Our multidisciplinary approach brings together expertise across planning, design, environmental management and strategy to find practical solutions that streamline approvals and unlock project potential.

Development Delivery + Facilitation

Delivering an approval is only the beginning. Turning that approval into a constructed, compliant and registerable outcome requires coordination, interpretation and continuous alignment across the project lifecycle.

Our Development Delivery + Facilitation service bridges the gap between planning approval, construction delivery and final asset realisation. We work alongside clients, consultants, contractors and authorities to translate development intent into executable outcomes – ensuring approvals are implemented correctly, compliance pathways are maintained, and projects move efficiently from decision to delivery.

By embedding within the project team, we reduce approval risk, prevent rework, streamline authority interactions and provide confidence that developments will achieve their intended outcomes without unnecessary delay.

Environmental + Bushfire Services

We offer a comprehensive suite of bushfire hazard assessment, and ecological and environmental management services for private landowners, government, tourism operators, developers, and infrastructure clients.

Our integrated approach balances the often-competing priorities of biodiversity conservation and bushfire preparedness, ensuring practical and sustainable outcomes. Through specialist assessment, innovative solutions, and creative problem-solving, our experienced team brings the scientific and technical expertise needed to achieve project goals while safeguarding key environmental values.

Expert Witness + Appeals

Our highly experienced expert witness and appeals team provides trusted expert witness services to support matters before the Planning and Environment Court with clarity and confidence.

Across multidisciplinary expertise, we offer well-informed advice and representation that stands up to scrutiny. We actively participate in pre-trial ‘without prejudice’ mediation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) conferences, working on behalf of our clients to achieve practical, positive outcomes.

Beyond the courtroom, we bring this expertise to the table right at the start of any project to assist our clients in developing their design, approval pathways and strategy decisions up front.

Landscape Architecture

We create innovative landscape architectural solutions across the full project journey – from visionary master planning and concept design through to construction delivery. With extensive experience in both public and private settings, our experienced team shapes meaningful places that honour Country and strengthen community wellbeing.

Our approach combines big‑picture ideas with strong technical capability; championing environmental stewardship and climate‑positive outcomes. Our goal is to craft landscapes that are functional, beautiful and enduring – authentic places that connect people, enrich daily life and inspire a thriving future.

We draw on the diverse expertise of our design team – bringing together a range of professional skills and perspectives to shape environments that are vibrant, inclusive, and enduring.

With experience across multiple sectors, we combine creativity with strategic insight to deliver places that are not only functional but meaningful – places that foster engagement, celebrate identity, and enhance quality of life.

Policy + Change Leadership

With over 30 years of experience serving our community, we understand the vital role we play as leaders in shaping the future of our industry. This responsibility drives us to lead in policy development, deliver expert advice, and provide research that supports our clients, strengthens communities, and advances the sector.

Our priority is to identify and remove barriers that stand in the way of better development outcomes across Queensland. Through strategic influence and collaboration, we create meaningful change and deliver places where people and communities thrive.

By integrating expertise from across the organisation, we provide a seamless approach that reduces risk, anticipates challenges, keeps projects on track and importantly, delivers exceptional results.

Whether it’s securing grants or developing evidence-based strategies, our research helps to inform clients’ decisions and shape projects and policy, creating smarter solutions and stronger outcomes for projects and communities.

Strategic + Statutory Planning

We’ve been delivering planning outcomes for our clients for more than 30 years. From big-picture projects that shape cities and regions, to sector-leading initiatives, we combine strategic insight with practical delivery to guide projects through complex statutory frameworks while keeping sight of the meaningful, long-term objectives of each and every project.

Surveying + 3D Spatial Analysis

Our broad capability covers the full spectrum of surveying – from land development, engineering and infrastructure projects to complex spatial modelling and digital environments. By combining advanced technology with deep technical experience, we provide reliable insights that underpin smarter planning, better design decisions and successful project delivery.
