With highly skilled and qualified town planners on staff, we can assist in the preparation of concept designs, feasibility studies and town planning applications. Our survey expertise allows us to provide a total development service from concept planning through to final titling of the completed development.
Our expertise in town planning extends beyond urban areas in the South East, into Rural Queensland, where we have been involved in different land consolidation projects, farm succession planning as well as rural land subdivisions.

Our town planning team has a broad knowledge base extending across a range of local authority areas through QLD.
Development Applications
Most developments require some form of approval by Council. The process to gain those approvals can be quite complex with recent legislative changes requiring that detailed plans and reports must accompany all applications.
Cottrell Cameron and Steen has the expertise to negotiate this complex maze, making the process much less stressful for the applicant. Our team is experienced in preparation of applications for a variety of development scenarios and can offer advice up front to assist in achieving your desired outcomes.
Small and Large Scale - Multi- Unit Developments
Our town planners are experienced in providing planning services and advice on small and large scale multi unit developments. Some of our approved developments include mixed use, affordable housing and small and large scale townhouse and multi unit projects.
Complexity of a multi unit development application depends on: site features, quality of building design, environmental factors and Council requirements. We can assist in successfully managing your project through the development application process.
