Urban planning shapes how our cities and communities grow. It influences land use, project approvals, infrastructure delivery and the long-term value of development. At Colliers, our Planning team works on a diverse range of projects across residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use and infrastructure sectors, helping clients navigate complex planning frameworks and deliver places that create lasting value for communities.

Applications are now open for the Colliers Urban Planning Internship Program opportunities across Australia, including NSW, VIC and QLD.

Early connections with students through internships are an important pathway into our early careers program. Supporting the development of future planners is a fundamental part of our culture at Colliers. We understand the value of real-world experience, mentorship and exposure to industry-leading projects in building confidence and professional capability.
