    Super easy to work with. We spoke to a lot of planners and they were either very unprofessional or unreasonably expensive. Doyen was in the sweet spot. They understood that it was a pretty straightforward DA, and threw it together without hassle.

    Rhys recently helped me get our home plans through council. We had some design issues with council come up that we both felt was unreasonable. Rhys was able to go the extra mile and went to the local council office to sit down and sort out a more amicable solution so we could keep moving forward. I would recommend Doyen Town Planning
