What Do Town Planners Do?

Town planners cover a range of building applications – But these are main ones that Property Owners require:

Reconfiguring a lot: This is a subdivision.  
Material change use : This is when the site is to start a new “use” eg a residential home being purchased to run a dental practice. 
Flooding Overlays: There are several levels of impacts flooding can have over a property, each with their own characteristics and limitations. We can provide you with advice and guidance around how to approach this is you have had past flooding on your land.
Bushfire Overlays: Bushfire overlays present challenges in areas with high volumes of flammable material (ie. dense bushland) and in the South East Queensland there are areas that this applies.
There are solutions to overcome bushfire hazard and a development strategy can be prepared, tailored to your project.
Traditional Building Character Overlay: Council categorises traditional character as Pre-1946 or Pre1911 depending on when the house was built. If your home is pre-war, A1 Town Planning can assist with your redesign, identifying any Council requirements and planning approvals.
Operational works: Construction of a retaining wall or infrastructure such as water, sewer and stormwater can sometimes require an operational works development permit. A1 Town Planning can coordinate with industry specialists to ensure a streamlined approval process, getting your project to the construction phase effectively and efficiently.
