This paper presents the rationale and design for a collaborative virtual environmentThat is being developed to aid shared assessment of urban planning proposals.The research aims to show how a collaborative virtual environment system can beConstructed, applied and used in the context of urban planning.A navigable and interactive collaborative virtual environment is being created in which planning information is embedded and analytical tools are provide.Sharing the virtual experience can improve the collaboration among the planning officers, applicantengineers, developers and the public.These participants can use the system toexplore alternative designs independent of time and place.The system will besuitable for discussions during the development plan and development control(decision-making) process.The system aims to improve communication amongstthe involved parties and in turn enhance the quality of decisions made by a planningcommittee.Better informed decisions will increase the confidence that the public hasin the urban development process.The research aims to analyse the usability of acollaborative virtual environment system, not only in terms of its visual and communicative impact, but also its impact on the decision-making process.
