Looking for a Town Planner Near You in NSW?

Finding a qualified planning consultant who knows your local council is one of the most important steps in getting your development approved.

Whether you're planning a renovation, new home, granny flat or commercial project, you need expert planning advice from someone who understands NSW planning rules.

At Town Planning Sydney, we help clients across Greater Sydney and regional NSW secure DA approval with fewer delays and fewer surprises.

Here’s how we deliver trusted town planning support right where you need it.

1. We provide planning advice that’s tailored to your location

Each local council has its own planning controls, formats and application procedures.

What applies in Ku-ring-gai is not the same as Penrith or Wollongong. We’ve worked in over 30 NSW councils and understand how to interpret local rules in real projects.

In one case in Shoalhaven, we adjusted a dual occupancy design to meet bushfire setbacks before submission.

The development application was approved without needing further amendments.

2. We handle projects across metro, suburban and regional areas

We don’t just work in the Sydney CBD. Our team supports clients from the Northern Beaches to the Blue Mountains and beyond.

In Campbelltown, we recently helped a client get DA approval for a second-storey addition in a flood-prone area.

We managed the design, reporting and council communication from start to finish.

3. We offer town planning and drafting services in one place

Most clients need both planning documentation and architectural drawings.

Our in-house team prepares DA-ready plans that meet local requirements and reduce council pushback.

In Blacktown, we supported a carport and façade redesign, preparing all drawings, shadow diagrams and Statements of Environmental Effects.

The application was approved in the standard assessment timeframe.

4. We’re available and responsive when councils or clients need answers

Our planners respond quickly to requests for changes or information during the assessment period.

In Georges River, council requested amended landscape plans for a rear extension. Our drafter issued the updates within 48 hours, keeping the approval process on track.

Working with a planner who is local and accessible makes a big difference.

5. We give you honest planning advice before any work begins

You don’t want to spend time or money on plans that will never be approved.

We offer upfront advice based on zoning, overlays, lot dimensions and DCP requirements.

In a recent Parramatta case, we advised a client not to proceed with a dual occupancy due to laneway access constraints.

They appreciated the clarity and moved forward with a compliant single dwelling instead.

6. We help you avoid delays by preparing complete applications

Missing documents and non-compliant plans are the most common reasons for delays.

We prepare everything required for DA approval in your LGA. That includes plans, reports and direct communication with council throughout the process.
