I was told about these guys by a local (Mt Lawley) real estate agent who had been through one planning nightmare after another before engaging Petar and his team at Urbanista and singing their praises.
It was my first time engaging a planning consultant so I was a bit nervous about the process and apprehensive about value, but I saw the work they put in to my DA and it was 100% professional - much more than I could've ever put together.
Their reputation did not let them down. It is a relief to know you have the best help on your side when there are important things at stake.

Petar and his team were very helpful in making a difficult project easy. As a builder working for a client, Petar was able to guide us through the planning process and I have no hesitation in recommending him and his company.

Urbanista provided expert advice and assistance at very short notice that enabled our local community to provide information to our Towns' Development Committee. Subsequently the State Administrative Tribunal refused the application. Petars knowledge and expertise were critical to the results that were achieved.

Some friends of mine were having a lot of trouble getting their plans through Council. Despite attempts by their architect and their own attempts, they got nowhere after about a year. They went to Urbanista and everything was sorted out within a fortnight. Great job guys!

Daniella has been fantastic to deal with.
My sub-division project has been very complicated and having them on my team has been a tremendous help! I definitely would not have been able to deal with the process as seamless and efficient as they have.
I highly recommend them

Petar Mrdja is one of three owners of Urbanista Town Planning. The following review is about our experience in dealing with Petar Mrdja. It is irrelevant to us where the work took place. Professionalism and work ethic is the individuals responsibility.
Petar Mrdja was contracted to work for the Town of Cambridge recently. My partner and I lodged a development application with the town. Our DA was unfortunately assigned to him. Over a period of nearly 3 months it didn't progress. He hardly ever responded to emails or calls from us or our Architect. He never met a deadline and never explained why
