Planning Services for Cronulla, Miranda, Caringbah, Engadine, Gymea, Kirrawee and Surrounds

If you're planning to build, renovate or open a business in the Sutherland Shire Council area, our team of town planners can help you get your development approved.

We work across the region, including Cronulla, Miranda, Caringbah, Gymea, Kirrawee, Engadine, Sylvania, Heathcote, Menai and Woolooware.

We specialise in preparing Development Applications (DAs), Statements of Environmental Effects, Clause 4.6 variation requests and modification applications under Section 4.55. We understand the Sutherland Shire LEP and DCP and tailor every submission to suit the zoning, site constraints, building envelope and local character guidelines.

Our projects in the Shire range from dual occupancies in Engadine to secondary dwellings in Menai and shop conversions in Cronulla.

We’ve also helped secure approvals for childcare centres, boarding houses, home-based businesses and subdivision proposals throughout the area.

Many sites in the Sutherland Shire are affected by slope, bushfire risk, flooding or sensitive environmental areas. We can help address these issues clearly and professionally in your submission, and we coordinate with relevant consultants if needed.

Our in-house team also produces site plans and architectural drawings to ensure everything meets Council’s requirements.

With strong knowledge of Sutherland Shire Council expectations and planning controls, we simplify the DA process from start to finish.

Whether you’re submitting your first DA or responding to Council feedback, we’re here to assist.
