Ben Victory

Before URPS, Ben spent more than 25 years working for the Onkaparinga, Mount Barker and Marion Councils. He held a variety of senior planning positions in development assessment and policy, including the Assessment Manager role at the City of Onkaparinga responsible for more than 4,000 development applications each year.

There is not much Ben hasn’t seen in these roles – from large land divisions and complex mixed-use developments to small changes of use and everything in between. He knows what council planning staff and assessment panel members are looking for in a development application and he knows the best way to package the right expert information.

An average sportsperson but a keen sports viewer, Ben enjoys working as part of a team. His extensive networks in the planning and development industry help him get things done. Ben’s calm, practical and hard-working approach to planning makes him a popular member of any project team.
