About Urban Sync
Urban Sync is a town planning and development consultancy based in Cairns. We help developers, landowners, businesses and community organisations across Far North Queensland get projects approved and delivered.
Our Story
Urban Sync was established in 2014 by Stuart Ricketts with a simple goal: to help clients navigate the planning and development process with confidence.
We've worked alongside developers, landowners, businesses, government agencies and community organisations, on everything from single developments and residential subdivisions to complex, multi-stage projects with many stakeholders.
Our role often goes beyond lodging an application. We identify opportunities, manage planning risk, coordinate consultant teams and guide projects through complex approval pathways.
Today we support residential, commercial, industrial, tourism, community and mixed-use projects across the region.
