Town Planning Support

---

Navigating town planning requirements can be one of the most daunting parts of any building project. At DHF Design, we simplify this process for you, ensuring your project complies with local planning schemes, overlays, and council regulations.

Whether you’re building a new home, extending an existing property, or developing multi-dwelling housing, we integrate planning considerations into your design from the start, reducing delays and costly rework later.

Not every project requires a planning permit, but many do. Factors influencing this include:

• Land size and zoning
• Heritage overlays
• Significant vegetation controls
• Development density (e.g. multi-unit developments)
• Changes in use or subdivision of land

Even smaller projects like garages or extensions may fall under planning controls depending on local council rules. We’ll help you determine whether your project requires a permit and guide you through the steps.
