A town planning consultancy is a business that provides expert advice and services to help individuals and companies navigate planning regulations, secure permits, and ensure their projects meet local council requirements.

For businesses like restaurants, gyms, medical centres, or industrial developments, a town planning consultancy helps with:

    •    Site assessments – Checking if a location is suitable for a business or development.

    •    Planning applications – Preparing and submitting documents to the council.

    •    Council negotiations – Communicating with local authorities to resolve issues.

    •    Regulatory compliance – Ensuring projects meet zoning laws, parking requirements, heritage overlays, and other planning rules.

    •    Development strategies – Advising on how to maximize a property’s potential within legal constraints.

The goal of a town planning consultancy is to streamline the approval process, minimize delays, and help businesses and developers move forward with confidence.

Hiring a town planner saves you time, money, and stress when setting up or expanding your business. They help you:

    •    Avoid costly mistakes – Ensure your location and plans meet council rules.

    •    Get faster approvals – Submit strong applications that councils are more likely to approve.

    •    Navigate complex regulations – Handle zoning, parking, and other legal requirements.

    •    Maximize your site’s potential – Optimize layouts and negotiate better outcomes.

    •    Save time & reduce stress – Let an expert handle the process while you focus on your business.

If you’re opening a restaurant, gym, medical centre, or industrial site, a town planner helps you get the green light faster and hassle-free.
