For the most part, our clients look to us for help with the approval side of things. For a development to gain local council approval, it needs to meet certain design provisions and standards. Failure to meet these standards before you apply can lead to long delays or outright refusals. To avoid the time and cost that these headaches can add to your development process, it is best to go to council already knowing that your project observes appropriate town planning practices.

That’s where Grummitt Planning comes into the equation. When you call us for Gold Coast town planning, our first step is typically to assess your site and proposed development. Seeing the land and understanding your proposed development goals helps us start formulating a picture of what you are desiring to accomplish. From there, we can work with you to revise and adapt your early musings into detailed plans that are likely to gain council approval.

The fact of the matter is that different sites have different town planning provisions that you need to follow. Our goal at Grummitt Planning is to help you to turn your development concept into something that your local council will accept. In some situations, though, it is not possible to satisfy council provisions and requirements while also staying true to our client’s preferred vision.

Either way, going through this initial assessment process with Grummitt Planning is a smart use of your time. We will be able to advise you how easy or difficult it will be for your project to gain council approval. We are also able to give you an appraisal of how much you would likely have to spend to make an application to the council and support it through the approval pipeline. These findings can be especially helpful, because they will give you an idea of the financial feasibility of your project before you even take the first step.
