What does a town planner do and why do I need one

13 October 2024

What type of things does a 'town planner' generally do on a day-to-day basis? The main role of the majority of Town Planners (also known as Urban Planners) in Melbourne, essentially, is to coordinate and evaluate the submission of town planning applications. A town planners job involves preparation of documentation and submitting proposals for development and land use as consultants or reviewing applications within mainly local government and circumstantially state government.

The town planner is a skilled expert with considerable experience in the land use and urban planning sector. Most town planners have already worked within local government or specialist planning agencies or consultancies and are experts in understanding local government and planning scheme operation and processes.

The town planner will prepare the planning proposal and relevant documentation to apply to the Council ensuring that all the relevant material is presented to the highest quality possible, This is the approach that we take at M & D Town Planning to ensure the best possible planning outcomes for our clients.  The planner will look after the application and will undertake all correspondence with Council on your behalf and utilise their professional expertise to optimise the best planning outcome for the proposal. The planner acts as the project manager of the planning application with coordinates all stakeholders involved in the specific planning application, including external consultants, Council and architects making the process far more effective and efficient.
