Opening a Business or Commercial Site in Melbourne?
These Services Were Built to Get You Approved — Fast.
If you've ever felt stuck, delayed, or overwhelmed by planning permits, council jargon, or confusing rules — you're not alone. Most business owners don’t realise how complicated planning approvals are until they’ve already signed the lease or started building.
And by then? It’s already costing them time, money, and momentum.
At Eland Town Planning, we help you avoid all of that. We’ve structured our services into three core areas to guide you from site idea to permit approval (and beyond) — with confidence, clarity, and speed.
