Pac Planning’s Partner Service

At Pac Planning, we know how busy the design and construction process can be. Whether you're preparing a development application, responding to council requests, or balancing multiple projects, the planning process can quickly become time-consuming and complex.

That’s why we created our Planning Partner Service — a fixed-fee, ongoing support model designed specifically for architects, building designers, and residential builders. This service gives you access to a trusted town planner who understands your projects, your process, and the planning pathways across local councils.

What is the Planning Partner Service?

The Planning Partner Service is an ongoing, collaborative relationship between your team and Pac Planning. Instead of engaging a planner on a one-off basis, this service gives you:

• Consistent support across multiple projects

• Fixed service fees, so you can quote with confidence

• Fast response times to keep your projects moving

• A dedicated planner who understands your business and your preferred approach

We become an extension of your team — offering advice, preparing reports, reviewing designs, and helping you and your clients navigate the approval process with clarity and confidence.

Who is it for?

Our Planning Partner Service is designed for professionals who want reliable, expert planning input as part of their workflow. It suits:

• Architects and building designers seeking input at concept or DA stage

• Residential builders needing a clear and consistent planning process across sites

• Developers managing multiple DAs who value strategic and proactive advice

• Design studios who want a seamless, professional experience for their clients

Whether it’s a new dwelling, dual occupancy, subdivision, or secondary dwelling, we help you make informed planning decisions from day one.
