Planning services, end to end.

Whether you need a single report or full management from feasibility to permit, we tailor our involvement to your project and budget.

01

Town Planning Reports

A planning report is the document that wins — or loses — your permit. We write clear, evidence-based submissions that respond directly to the relevant zone, overlays, state and local policy, and the decision guidelines a planner must consider.

  • Written assessment against the planning scheme and VPP
  • Neighbourhood character and amenity analysis
  • Response to ResCode / Clause 55 & 56 where relevant
  • Supporting cover letters and policy referencing
02

Permit Applications

We prepare and lodge complete planning permit applications, coordinate the supporting plans and consultant reports, and act as your representative with council from lodgement through to determination.

  • Application preparation and lodgement
  • Coordination of architects, surveyors and engineers
  • Management of Requests for Further Information (RFIs)
  • Negotiation of permit conditions
03

Planning Scheme Amendments

When the existing controls don't allow your vision, a scheme amendment may be the path. We develop the strategic justification, draft the request, and manage the process through exhibition and panel.

  • Rezoning strategy and feasibility
  • Amendment request preparation and supporting reports
  • Stakeholder and authority engagement
  • Panel submission coordination
04

Due Diligence & Feasibility

Before you commit, know what the planning framework will and won't allow. Our pre-purchase appraisals and feasibility assessments give you a realistic development envelope and a clear view of the risks.

  • Pre-purchase planning appraisals
  • Development yield and constraints analysis
  • Overlay, heritage and easement review
  • Plain-English risk and opportunity summary
05

VCAT & Advocacy

If your application is refused, delayed, or attracts objections, we advocate on your behalf — at council, in mediation, and at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

  • Review of refusals and failure-to-determine appeals
  • Objector mediation and consultation
  • Expert witness coordination
  • Representation and submissions at VCAT
06

Subdivision & Land Use

From two-lot subdivisions to change-of-use approvals, we manage the planning permit alongside your surveyor and engineers so the whole process moves together.

  • Subdivision and consolidation permits
  • Change of use and red-line liquor licensing
  • Secondary consents and permit amendments
  • Coordination with land surveyors and civil engineers
