Celebrating its 10th year in business, Urban Economics was established by Jon Norling and Kerrianne Bonwick in 1998 and has rapidly expanded to employ a team of 11 professional and support staff dedicated to adding value to market and economic advice in the retail, residential, office space, industrial and tourism sectors.

Our suite of services is designed to provide objective, independent, informed and practical advice throughout all stages of urban and property development, from inputs to regional strategic planning and development strategies, to individual project feasibility and implementation strategies. We are passionate about exploring the ways in which we live within the urban environment, and translating these insights into implementable advice for our clients.

We are committed to delivering advice in which the team has conviction, rounded on professional research and analysis, our extensive and detailed property and research database, a multi-disciplined team of enthusiastic professionals, and more  than 35 years' combined consulting experience of the two Directors.

Based in Brisbane, Urban Economics’s experience has naturally concentrated in the rapidly expanding Queensland and northern New South Wales’ markets, however Urban Economics provides consulting services throughout Australia and New Zealand, including the major markets of Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Auckland, as well as regional centres.

Urban Economics enjoys working either directly with a wide range of private and public clients in the provision of economic and market research services, or as a part of a larger team of professionals dedicated to delivering a project.
