In the current development landscape, delays in documentation can stall an entire project. Councils cannot begin assessing a DA without the correct supporting reports, and slow preparation times can push you weeks behind schedule. By offering a consistent two-week turnaround, Town Planning Collective helps developers, architects, builders and homeowners avoid unnecessary hold-ups, respond quickly to opportunities, and keep momentum through every stage of the approval process. Fast and reliable reporting means faster lodgements — and faster outcomes.

Our Proven Process for Timely, High-Quality Reports

We’ve refined our internal workflow to deliver reports that are both thoroughly researched and efficiently produced. Our process includes:

• Early information review to identify constraints and opportunities

• Targeted planning and heritage research using trusted sources

• Clear and concise drafting with a focus on council requirements

• Prompt communication to resolve queries quickly

• Quality checks to ensure accuracy and compliance

This structured approach allows us to maintain high professional standards while consistently meeting our two-week timeframe.

Heritage Impact Statements – Detailed, Accurate and Council-Ready

Our Heritage Impact Statements are prepared by experienced planners with a strong understanding of NSW heritage legislation, conservation principles and local planning requirements. We provide thoroughly researched reports that assess the historical context of your site, evaluate potential impacts on heritage items or conservation areas, and outline practical, balanced mitigation measures. Whether your proposal involves alterations to a heritage-listed property or development within a sensitive heritage precinct, our HISs are tailored to meet council expectations and support a smooth assessment process — all within our reliable two-week turnaround.

Statements of Environmental Effects – Clear, Comprehensive and Compliant

A high-quality SEE is essential for demonstrating the planning merit of your development application. Our Statements of Environmental Effects clearly address all relevant provisions of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, State Environmental Planning Policies, Local Environmental Plans and Development Control Plans. We prepare structured, easy-to-follow reports that explain your proposal, assess environmental and amenity impacts, justify compliance variations where required, and provide strong planning arguments to support approval. With our efficient two-week turnaround, your application can be lodged sooner and progress more smoothly through the assessment process.

Why Our Fast Turnaround Works

At Town Planning Collective, our ability to consistently deliver planning and heritage reports within two weeks isn’t a shortcut — it’s the result of deep expertise, refined systems and decades of industry experience. With thousands of planning and heritage assessments completed across every Council area in NSW, we simply don’t need to reinvent the wheel each time a new project comes through the door. We already know the planning frameworks, the heritage controls, the common issues, and importantly, how different councils interpret and apply their policies.

Our Principal Planner brings almost 20 years of town planning and heritage experience, having worked on an enormous variety of development types, constraints, and legislative frameworks. That level of knowledge means we can quickly diagnose issues, identify opportunities, and produce well-reasoned, compliant reports without delay. Put simply—we’ve seen it all, and our experience allows us to work efficiently without ever compromising on quality.

Because our research base is extensive and our internal processes are streamlined, we can focus our time on what matters most: crafting clear, accurate, council-ready planning reports tailored to your specific development. This combination of expertise, efficiency, and a highly specialised skillset is what allows our fast turnaround to work—project after project, report after report.
