Why We're the Most Trusted Town Planners in NSW

Getting DA approval in New South Wales can be complex, confusing and frustrating.

At Town Planning Sydney, our goal is to make the process clear, smooth and successful for every client.

We’ve earned a reputation across NSW for reliable planning advice, accurate documentation and consistent results.

Here’s why so many people trust us with their development applications.

1. We offer honest, practical planning advice from the start

Before we draw anything, we assess your site and give realistic options based on NSW planning rules.

If something won’t get approved, we’ll tell you upfront. This saves time and prevents wasted design work.

In a project in Northern Beaches, we advised a client to scale back their second storey to meet view impact controls. They got council approval without needing a redesign later.

2. We have experience with over 30 councils across NSW

Each local government has different rules, formats and review procedures.

We’ve lodged successful development applications across Sydney metro, regional towns and coastal areas.

In one case, we supported a dual occupancy in Tamworth and worked closely with council planners to justify a minor height variation. The DA was approved in under 10 weeks.

3. Our planners and drafters work together under one roof

We don’t send you off to different consultants for plans, reports and council responses.

Our drafting team works side by side with our planning consultants. This makes it easier to update drawings quickly and meet NSW planning standards.

In Campbelltown, we revised a stormwater layout and resubmitted within two days, avoiding a delay in assessment.

4. We prepare documentation that council planners respect

We know what councils look for in site plans, floor plans, shadow diagrams and Statements of Environmental Effects.

We don’t cut corners or use templates that miss key details. Our reports are clear, compliant and written to the expectations of local planners.

In Randwick, we supported a rear addition in a heritage zone with a strong planning justification that helped secure DA approval.

5. We respond to council queries with speed and clarity

Most development applications receive feedback during assessment.

Our team handles this communication on your behalf, whether it’s a minor change or a formal request for information.

In a childcare centre project in Bankstown, we updated landscape plans and addressed noise concerns within three days. The fast turnaround kept the application on track.

6. Our clients trust us because we keep them informed and involved

Planning can be overwhelming if you're not familiar with the process.

We break things down and explain each step in plain language. From lodgement to council approval, we provide updates, clear answers and realistic timeframes.

We’re here to help, not to confuse or overcomplicate.

Trust is built through results.

At Town Planning Sydney, we combine expert knowledge with practical service to make sure your DA approval is done right the first time.
