Understanding the complex nature of Council assessment enables us to position your application in its best light for assessment.

We understand that one of the most painful aspects of development approvals are the timeframes associated with preparing, lodgement, and assessment of the application.

Because of this, we aim to prepare and lodge all applications within 5 business days after receiving required documentation.

For larger projects when this isn't feasible, we clearly communicate time frames and minimise delays wherever possible.

What our clients say

Working with Rhys and Doyen Planning has been a true game-changer for us. Rhys’ ability to assess, identify and most importantly find solutions for Town Planning issues are the best we’ve dealt with.

Haimes Homes

We used Rhys at Doyen Town Planning for the DA application for our new house build. Rhys was very knowledgeable and very easy to deal with. He was able to think outside the box and get things done which others said weren't possible. I highly recommend Doyen's services to anyone.

Michael

I received great service from Doyen Town Planning. They promptly prepared the development application documentation and in a manner so as to avoid objections from the Council. They kept me informed throughout the entire process and everything went very smoothly.
