Town Planning | Capability Statement 2018

Our Vision Our passion for working with and navigating clients through the planning process is based on a strong desire to contribute positively to the built environment and improve the lives of everyday people and the communities in which they live.

About UsKnight Frank Town Planning is one of the Canberra Region’s leading town planning and urban design consultancies comprising a growing team of experienced people encompassing statutory planning, estate development, community consultation, and urban design capabilities. The team of planning professionals at Knight Frank have extensive experience both globally and locally in the ACT and NSW. Our skilled professionals originate from a variety of complimentary disciplinary backgrounds including town planning, urban design, architecture, heritage architecture, landscape architecture and GIS mapping.

Our planners and designers are highly experienced in planning legislation (Commonwealth, State and Territory Legislation) as well

as urban design models and frameworks. Our planners and designers routinely interpret and advise a broad range of clients on a variety of developments through all stages of the planning and design process.

With a demonstrated understanding of land use policies and planning frameworks, the planning team has the experience, dedication and desire to apply their skills and knowledge to achieve a superior outcome for every project. We deliver design and planning solutions that respond not only to the clients’ needs, but maintain a focus to deliver cost effective solutions that consider the urban environment within which they sit.

Teamed with the wider group of Knight Frank property professionals, we have the ability to analyse, plan, provide counselling and professional advice, design initiative, affordable and practical solutions, and assess the viability of developments tailored to your needs. We can guide your development from inception to approval.

There is a human element in the world of property that is too easily overlooked.

Locally expert, globally connected.

“

Our ApproachWe pride ourselves on client attentiveness and will take the time to understand your project vision, needs, and how we can value add.

We believe that devising the right strategy from the outset enables the full development potential to be unlocked, adding crucial value to projects and provide the bases from which greater certainty is provided to obtain all planning and design approvals.

We understand that projects require the coordination of a range of multi-disciplinary professionals and therefore problem-solving requires a coordinated and integrated response. Our team of planners and designers are highly experienced in advising and coordinating simple answers to complex problems.

We have and continue to play a critical role in the delivery of development through the planning processes in the ACT and across NSW.

Connecting people and property, perfectly.
