About Eland Town Planning

Commercial & Industrial Town Planner Melbourne

Theresa Gwini

Hi, I’m Theresa — founder and lead planner at Eland Town Planning, a specialist commercial and industrial town planning consultancy based in Melbourne.

But more importantly... I’m the person business owners call when they’re stuck in council limbo, about to throw their lease in the bin, or too overwhelmed to move forward.

After more than 10 years working inside urban and regional councils, I saw the same thing over and over again:

Capable, passionate business owners being blindsided by rules they never knew existed.

I created Eland to help change that — by making planning simple, human, and fast for people who are building something incredible. Whether it’s a gym, café, medical practice or warehouse, my team and I help clients get their projects approved with less stress, fewer delays, and complete clarity.

We specialise exclusively in:
- Commercial planning permits
- Industrial development applications
- Heritage overlay approvals for commercial sites

If that’s what you need, I’d love to work with you.
