What do town planners do?
Town planners work on the behalf of a developer or landowner to provide advice about your development, vision, and plan. Planners are professionals in developing strategies and reports for submission to Local Council and State Government Agencies. They specialise in Town Planning Law which covers all types of development. We can help you get approval for a development on things like a simple house extension or something more complex like a multi-storey mix use tower in the CBD.
At Vision Property Development Hub our Drafting team can provide custom design solutions to residential requirements whether it be a new home, alterations & additions, separate office and/or granny flats, or a multi-unit Development. If you have a VISION of what you want to achieve with your building project we can bring that to life with our drafting team preparing Council ready plans.
We also provide plans for new purpose built commercial premises or alterations and additions. Lastly we regularly prepare preliminary layout plans for proposed subdivisions.
We work in conjunction with qualified consulting Engineers to prepare all the structural and civil plans that are required for the project.
If you require more bespoke design service, we work closely with a residential designer that can offer bespoke design input and interior design suggestions.
We would be very pleased to hear from you.
When you have an idea to develop, contact Vision Property Development Hub. We can advise you quickly whether your proposed development will require any form of approval. If your development needs approval, Vision will work with you and other third party agencies to arrange designs that comply with Planning Controls giving you the best chance of gaining a swift approval. We will coordinate a mix of consultants such as architects, landscape architects, surveyors, civil engineers, and traffic engineers to provide quotation for the professional services to get you all of the necessary reports, assessments, structural information, and required documentation to submit to Council for you.
Vision Property Development Hub will work with you to bring your initial Vision to complete design ready for submission to NSW Government. Vision being involved from the concept stage means the development can be designed to fully comply with Planning Controls from the outset, making the process of application more efficient and more likely to receive an approval.
The NSW Planning Scheme is a complex system that we can readily navigate on your behalf and assist you in achieving your Vision, saving you time and money.
Our services will streamline the process as we work with you so that we lodge and manage all applications necessary for you to gain approvals and permits to be able to construct your development, without you having to set foot in Council.
