The Foundation of Success

Why Expert Town Planning Matters for Your Brisbane Project

Whether you're subdividing your backyard, building townhouses, or extending your home, the success of your project depends on navigating Brisbane City Council's planning requirements.

Brisbane City Plan 2014 sets out complex rules about minimum lot sizes, setbacks, height limits, and design requirements. A mistake in the application process can cost months of delays and thousands in additional fees.

Our team of experienced town planners knows exactly what Council requires. We identify issues early, prepare compelling applications, and guide your project from concept to approval.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a town planner for my project?
If your project requires a Development Application (DA), a town planner can significantly increase your chances of approval and reduce delays. We can assess whether your project needs approval and the best pathway forward.
How long does a development application take?
Timeframes vary by complexity. Code assessable applications typically take 2-4 months. Impact assessable applications (requiring public notification) can take 4-8 months or longer.
What is the minimum lot size for subdivision in Brisbane?
Minimum lot sizes vary by zone and proximity to centres. In Low Density Residential zones, minimums range from 300m² to 600m² depending on location and whether it's a rear lot.
