Town Planning Services

Town planning, also known as urban planning, involves the design and regulation of the uses of space focusing on the physical layout of towns and cities. It is essential in managing land resources, infrastructure development, and ensuring sustainable growth and development.

The town planning process often begins with conducting feasibility studies and due diligence for potential developments. Then, planning permit applications are lodged with the local council. Once approved, the development can proceed according to the plans and conditions set in the permit.

A town planner manages and coordinates the physical layout of cities, towns, and other built environments. This includes assessing planning permit applications, liaising with relevant stakeholders, advising on development proposals, and ensuring that projects align with planning policies and regulations.

A town planning consultant provides professional advice on all aspects of planning, such as site analysis, design response assessments, planning scheme assessments, and advocacy at hearings. They guide clients through the planning process and help them navigate planning laws and regulations.

A town planning consultant can assist in several ways. They can prepare planning permit applications, represent you at council meetings or hearings, conduct feasibility studies, provide advice on planning laws and regulations, and help resolve planning issues that may arise during the project.

Planning permit applications are documents submitted to the local council to seek approval for a development or use of land. These applications are essential to ensure that the proposed development complies with all local planning controls and regulations.

Town planning considers various social, economic, environmental, and cultural impacts. It also considers the community's needs, infrastructure requirements, the local environment, heritage issues, and the principles of sustainable development.

A planning scheme is a legal document that sets out policies and provisions for the use and development of land. It's important as it guides how land can be used and developed and helps manage land use and development changes.
