Our Company


Rationale is an independent advisory firm that helps leaders in both the public and private sectors make great investment and infrastructure decisions. We take pride in our independent status, which has been built from the ground up using integrity and experience as our compass.

Rationale specialises in addressing complex problems and challenges that require vision, collaboration, engagement and robust decision making to create the right solution. We excel at identifying a clear path through complex situations and bring every stakeholder along on the journey.

Our strength lies in using an objective and value-driven process that prevents preconceived solutions or biases from influencing investment decision making..

We employ a high calibre team of smart and ambitious people who thrive on challenge.

Rationale is made up of people from a wide range of backgrounds including law, accounting, communications, psychology, tourism, science, human resources, teaching and geography, as well as engineering.

Balance and personal challenge are important to us and we all share an ambition to improve our communities, industries and environments.

Our people are, and always will be, the foundation of Rationale’s success. We are constantly on the lookout for smart people who like a challenge and know to have fun – if this sounds like you please drop us a line.

Our Services


While infrastructure planning, investment and management remain core strengths for Rationale, we also offer a wider suite of complementary expertise.

We believe that putting people at the centre of the issues we are dealing with through comprehensive engagement is the best way to find solutions and bring stakeholders along for the ride.

We work on a wide range of challenges that are often emotionally charged or of great interest to the people involved. This includes town master plans, organisational improvements, economic and sustainability strategies, business cases for large projects, policy updates and engagement plans (to name just a few).
