Great Neighbourhoods
Don’t Happen by Accident
Good Neighbours Movement is an independent consultancy on a mission to shape stronger, healthier, and more sustainable communities across Australia.
New communities are being built every day – but too often, people are left out of the plan.
Our purpose is to reimagine how neighbourhoods are shaped – helping governments, developers, and organisations plan and deliver communities that are stronger, healthier, and built to last.
By putting people and evidence at the centre, we work to ensure every neighbourhood is a place where connection, access, and wellbeing are the norm, not the exception.
“We believe designing resilient and connected neighbourhoods drives positive economic, social, and environmental outcomes for all stakeholders.”
