Client Testimonials

Our clients are what makes us come to work every day and do the work we do. If love your job, you will never work a day in your life, and that is the mentality that we try to live by. Below are some examples of some happy customers who have willingly provided some testimonials.

We started growing so quickly and before we knew it we were spending too much time on report and other documents. We outsourced to Town Planning Collective and have never looked back. It is comforting to know that they are there to provide expert reports at a competitive price. The best part is that they give me flat rates so i can factor their costs into all of my projects!

We hired Josh and his team for an objection letter for a large boarding house development next door to my parents house. He was so knowledgable throughout the process and really made us feel at ease. His report was beyond our expectations and resulted in a refusal of the development application.
Long live the objection king!

We engaged The Planning Collective for a planning proposal to convert some land from rural to residential development. The firm did everything for us, working with Council and the NSW Government to work towards a successful outcome for us and our other neighbours to upzone our land!
