The Hornsby Shire presents unique planning challenges, including bushfire risk, flood-prone land, steep terrain and significant vegetation overlays. Our team has extensive experience addressing these constraints while aligning projects with Council’s policies and planning controls.

We’ve successfully secured approvals for dual occupancies, granny flats, alterations and additions, subdivisions, commercial fit-outs and home-based businesses across the LGA.

Our in-house drafting team can also prepare architectural drawings, helping to streamline the application process.
