Because Every Day You Wait On Council Costs You — Money, Momentum, and Sleep.

Most business owners think town planning is about forms and drawings. It’s not. It’s about risk, timing, and how early you see the traps.

The town planning system wasn’t built for business owners — it was built for bureaucracy. It’s slow, confusing, and full of invisible rules that change from council to council. The result? You end up stuck waiting on council, paying rent on an empty site, or staring at a Notice of Non-Compliance wondering how a simple idea turned into a legal headache.

A permit isn’t a form. It’s permission — the legal key that unlocks your ability to trade, renovate, build, or expand. Without it, your dream space — your café, clinic, gym, or warehouse — is just an expensive shell you can’t operate from.

Why This Happens (and How We Fix It)

Agents sell potential. Architects sell design. Builders sell speed. But no one sells certainty.

That’s where Eland Town Planning steps in. We exist to fill that gap — helping you understand, plan and prove your project before council ever gets the chance to say no.

• Leasing a property and want to know if your business can actually operate there.
• Buying a commercial site and need to de-risk your investment.
• Already in hot water after receiving “that letter” from council.

Who We Work With

• Entrepreneurs signing their first lease who can’t afford delays.
