• District Court
• Supreme Court
• Federal Court

Areas examined by Urban Economics for the assistance of the Courts have been varied and multi-faceted, from child care centres to crematoria, the dairy industry to accommodation for mine workers, retirement villages to nightclubs, shopping centres to limestone mines.
Jon Norling, Director of Urban Economics, has been instrumental in developing a test for the Courts in examining the level of public need from the community and economic perspective, which is utilised by economic experts in expert meetings and preparation of joint reports.
