Independent planning, on your side.

Urban Entropy was founded on a simple idea: planning advice should be clear, honest and relentlessly focused on getting your project approved.

Our story

Order out of complexity.

The name says it. Every site arrives as a tangle of zones, overlays, policies, neighbours and competing interests — entropy. Our work is to bring order to it: a structured strategy, a tight argument, and a permit at the end.

We're a boutique consultancy, which means you deal directly with the planner doing the work — not a call centre or a rotating account manager. We take on a focused number of projects so each one gets genuine attention.

From homeowners extending a single dwelling to builders and developers delivering multi-unit and commercial projects, our clients come back because we tell them the truth early and fight hard for the outcome.

What guides us

  • Honesty firstIf it won't fly, we'll tell you before you spend.
  • Clarity alwaysPlain English, no planning jargon for its own sake.
  • Respect for Country & placeGood planning makes better neighbourhoods.
