We provide town planning and heritage services throughout Brisbane and South East Queensland.
Experience in town planning has been gained by working on behalf of both the public and private sectors.
For the most part, we assist individuals, architects and developers by providing town planning advice, engaging with council to resolve town planning issues, preparing planning reports and other documents to accompany development applications, and lodging development applications with councils.
Experience has been gained working across Brisbane and South East Queensland. As a result of working for both the public and private sectors we are in a unique position in offering town planning advice that is based on a broad range of experience.
We understand the requirements and processes of councils. Advice is also always up to date and our staff are endorsed as Certified Practicing Planners by the Planning Institute of Australia.
We regularly carry out work on a range of development proposals including:
We provide advice and reports in relation to development proposals relating to heritage affected sites as identified by the planning scheme and the State Government Heritage Register.
Over 25 years of experience working in relation to heritage buildings and heritage areas ensure that advice provided is relevant and can be relied upon.
We provide assistance with development applications from initial advice through to lodgement and management with the council. We prepare planning reports (planning assessment reports) addressing all assessment criteria and coordinate supporting documentation.
We assist with both code assessable and impact assessable development applications. We also assist with modification applications when changes to approved development are required.
We provide town planning advice on development potential, planning scheme requirements, and approval prospects. This advice is useful before engaging architects or designers, or before committing to property purchase.
Advice includes assessment of applicable zones and overlays, determination of whether a proposal would be code or impact assessable, identification of key planning requirements, and consideration of alternative approaches if initial concepts face planning challenges.
We prepare feasibility reports that identify opportunities and constraints before you commit to purchase or design. Reports analyze property characteristics, review applicable planning controls, identify development constraints, assess realistic development options, and determine the approval pathway.
These reports are valuable when assessing a property for purchase or when considering significant development or renovation works.
We prepare subdivision applications (reconfiguring a lot) to meet council requirements. This includes boundary realignments, standard residential subdivisions, community title schemes, building format plans, and multi-stage subdivisions.
We coordinate with surveyors and engineers to ensure all technical requirements are addressed.
We also provide assistance with:
