You may be looking for advice on the town planning process - what you can and can’t do and how you should go about preparing your application. We will listen to your needs and provide professional advice to help you make the best decision about which way to proceed.

Planning applications need to be prepared carefully to maximise their chances of success. We will work with you and your architect to ensure your proposal meets all relevant requirements. We will prepare and lodge your application and once lodged we will monitor it carefully to ensure it proceeds through Council as smoothly as possible.

We are regulars at VCAT. We know how it works and we can advise you on your options and chances of success. If you need to go to VCAT we can prepare and present your case or alternatively, if you’d prefer legal representation we can appear as your expert witness.

If you need advice or assistance in a rezoning or any other planning scheme amendment we can provide it for you.

We are experts in community consultation. We can help with designing your consultation program including advice on options, assistance with questionnaire design and press release preparation. We can facilitate public meetings or drop in days and analyse your feedback received.

If you need original research or would like to develop a strategic plan, we can assist. We have extensive experience working across a broad range of public policy issues.
