What is town planning?
Town planning is about figuring out how to design and plan new buildings, roads, and parks in a place. The goal is to make everything look nice and easy for the people who live there to use and enjoy.
How long does it typically take to get Council Approval in Australia?
We won’t give you a made-up timeframe just to impress you. Honestly, how long it takes to get approval depends on a bunch of things. It relies on the type of construction project, the local council, the person at the council looking at your application, where your property is in the council area, and other factors. The approval process usually takes longer than you might think because we have to deal with a lot of administrative stuff.
What is zoning in town planning?
Zoning is like a plan that decides what can be built where in a town or area. It sets rules for different zones, like how tall buildings can be, where green spaces should be, how many buildings can be in one place, and what kinds of businesses are allowed.
Why is town planning necessary?
Town planning is crucial because it ensures organised and sustainable development in urban areas. Without proper planning, cities and towns may face challenges such as inefficient use of space, traffic congestion, inadequate infrastructure, and a lack of essential services. Planning helps allocate land for different purposes, like housing, businesses, and recreational spaces, ensuring a well-balanced and functional community.
Do you subdivide before or after construction?
Well, in many situations, you can split the land without building anything first. But here’s the thing: most of the time, you’ll need to get approval for the development before you can actually divide the land. It’s like getting the green light before making any changes. This helps make sure everything goes smoothly.
