The Urban Developer - Editorial Charter

As of July 2025

We are Australia’s largest, most engaged and fastest growing community of property developers and urban development professionals. We express our corporate values through our vision to empower our community to make better decisions that will result in improved outcomes for the built environment.

Our editorial vision is to be a leading news platform and authoritative voice that informs and connects our members and the broader community of professionals working in the built environment. We are committed to writing about topics we believe our audience will be interested in and building audience trust through transparency, integrity, quality and consistency.

We are privately-owned and member focused. We take our responsibility to our members and readers seriously and will at all times act ethically and take reasonable steps to ensure our editorial content is accurate, informed and fair.

We aim to provide informative, up-to-date and engaging content, that does not cause offence, distress or prejudice to those affected by our editorial content or pose a risk to health and safety.

We will always endeavour to correct any mistakes at the earliest opportunity and invite any complaints to be resolved through our Complaints Handling Policy. Where reasonable to do so, we will strive to update our content as and when new information becomes available.

We do not take a policy position on specific issues, however, we will occasionally publish opinion pieces from academics and experts in their respective fields. When we publish opinion content, we make sure that those opinions are expressed respectfully, and clearly identified.

We will also ensure that conflicts of interest are avoided or adequately disclosed.
