Contributions to major planning scheme reviews, regional plans, and associated infrastructure planning.
Statutory planning for development projects, with a focus on more complex proposals. We are excellent project managers, providing holistic support through the development assessment processes.
Engagement and consultation, specifically regarding planning projects or planning policy reforms.
OUR APPROACH
We work closely with clients to ensure outputs reflect their mission and values. We listen to our clients and other relevant stakeholders to provide a service that meets your needs. Every recommendation is grounded in data, research, and existing planning frameworks. We provide unbiased and evidence based opinions.
Services are structured in tiers to meet different levels of need and budget, with flexibility to extend into detailed analysis or engagement support.
We offer fixed fee packages for policy development, review and strategic engagement, including meeting requirements for statutory public consultation. Similarly, we provide similar fixed fee packages for different aspects of development phases, from initial site assessment, through to approval. Our engagement specialists mean we are the perfect one stop shop for more undertaking consultation on complicated planning projects.
Each package is designed to provide clarity, accountability, and measurable outcomes, with defined deliverables, structured feedback rounds, and transparent pricing.
Our tiered structure allows you to choose the level of support that matches your project’s complexity, scale, and budget, while retaining the flexibility to add tailored services such as statistical analysis, GIS mapping, or stakeholder facilitation.
Packages can also be tailored to meet your organisation’s specific needs - whether you require additional workshops, advanced spatial analysis, or bespoke engagement support.
