The Oddie Project

People.
Place.
Partnership.

Our full site is on its way. In the meantime, here's what we're about.

01 What we're about

Great places aren't built by plans alone. They're built by people working well together.

The Oddie Project exists to do urban development differently. We work alongside everyone with a stake in shaping places — central and local government, transport and infrastructure agencies, developers and property organisations, iwi and Māori entities, and the communities places are for — bringing clarity and momentum to complex programmes, from strategy and governance through to delivery on the ground.

We believe the hardest problems in urban development don't sit inside organisations — they sit in the gaps between them. That's where we're at our best: connecting partners, aligning people, and building the trust and shared direction that turn good intent into real outcomes for communities.

02 What we do
01
Programme leadership and delivery

Senior, hands-on leadership for complex, multi-workstream programmes — establishment through to delivery.

02
Governance design and assurance

Fit-for-purpose frameworks that drive accountability and clear decision-making.

03
Cross-agency and cross-sector integration

Closing the gaps between organisations — aligning government, agencies and private partners around one direction.

04
Partnership brokering, including public–private and Crown–iwi collaboration

Building the trust and shared direction that make collaboration real.

05
Regeneration and urban development strategy

Clear strategy for regeneration and place-based delivery on the ground.

06
Systems thinking and facilitation for complex programmes

A systems lens and skilled facilitation that turn ambiguity into shared momentum.

03 How we work

Alongside your team, not around it

01
Understand

The programme, the people and the politics — before any plan.

02
Align

Shared clarity across agencies, sponsors and stakeholder groups.

03
Structure

Governance that makes decisions possible — and keeps them made.

04
Deliver

Hands-on momentum, from establishment through to delivery.

04 Why “The Project”?

It's called The Project because that's exactly what this is — a commitment to a better way of shaping the places we share.

People. Place. Partnership.
