History

Established in 1963.

Arnold Development Consultants (ADC) is celebrating 50 years of service to the land development, government, and the property investment and management sectors in Queensland.

Arnold Development Consultants commenced operation in the early 1960’s, with founders Stephen John Arnold and Michael David George Arnold opening a Brisbane based Town Planning and Land Surveying firm. During the next few years, work steadily increased on the Gold Coast making it essential to open a Gold Coast Office in the late 1960’s. In the first 4 decades the Brisbane and Gold Coast Offices operated under the personal supervision of the founding directors Michael Arnold and Stephen Arnold respectively which ensured it kept its family business base.

In the 1990’s Stephen’s sons, Matthew Stephen Arnold and Michael Geoffrey Arnold, followed in their Father’s footsteps both studying surveying at the Queensland University of Technology and the University of Southern Queensland respectively. Both Matthew and Mich
