SINGLETON COUNCIL • HUNTER • NSW
SINGLETON TOWN PLANNING
Singleton has a diverse planning environment encompassing the established township, growing residential areas, rural and agricultural land, mining and resource activities, industrial development and the villages and communities of the wider LGA.
Our Principal Planner previously worked at Singleton Council as Coordinator of Planning and Development, providing first-hand experience in the assessment and management of development across the Singleton LGA. This experience provides a strong understanding of local planning controls, Council processes and the planning issues that commonly arise across residential, rural, commercial and industrial development.
Since moving into private consultancy, we have continued to provide planning advice and prepare Development Applications and planning documentation for projects throughout Singleton and the broader Hunter Region. This combination of Council-side and consultancy experience allows us to identify potential planning issues early and provide practical advice tailored to the local development environment.

DEVELOPING IN SINGLETON
Development within the Singleton LGA is influenced by a diverse mix of urban, rural, agricultural, industrial and resource-related land uses, together with important environmental and heritage considerations.
Depending on the location and nature of a proposal, development may require consideration of zoning and land use permissibility, minimum lot size and subdivision controls, flooding, bushfire, biodiversity, heritage, access and infrastructure servicing. Rural development can involve additional considerations relating to agricultural land, dwelling entitlements, rural subdivision and potential land use conflicts, while development in other parts of the LGA may need to respond to mining and resource-related constraints.
Understanding these considerations early can help identify potential planning issues, inform the design process and establish a clearer pathway for a Development Application.
Some of the issues we regularly consider include:
