About

A town planning practice with a database behind it,
and a town planner’s name on every report

answers one question about a property: what is allowed to be done with it. We answer it in writing, from the planning instrument in force, Council’s own mapping and the decisions Council has actually made nearby, and our town planner signs the answer.

Who does the work

A town planner and a co-founder, and no call centre

Every report and every application is prepared and signed by our town planner. You deal with him and with Finlay; there is nobody between you and them.

Reports are prepared in-house by our town planner. For a development application we engage and coordinate the specialists Council requires (surveyors, civil and structural engineers, geotechnical and flood consultants, ecologists, traffic and acoustic engineers).

How a report is made

Automated research, a town planner's judgement, one signature

  1. Step 1

    The record is assembled

    The parcel is drawn from the cadastre and read against our own planning database (285,000+ development applications and 1.4 million properties with their zone, overlays and lot geometry), the planning instrument in force at that parcel, and Council's live mapping. This part is automated and the same for every address.

  2. Step 2

    The provisions are quoted

    Every rule the answer depends on is quoted from the scheme text, not paraphrased, and the report says where every figure came from.

  3. Step 3

    A person decides

    Robbie Spooner, our town planner, reads the record, decides each pathway, measures what has to be measured on the plan, and writes the findings. Where an application would later need a specialist, the report says which discipline.

  4. Step 4

    It is signed and sent

    Nothing leaves without our town planner having checked it against the sources. The report is sent by email with a site plan drawn to scale.

Read a complete, real report before you order: Dual occupancy (a duplex) at 166 Jesmond Road Indooroopilly, Secondary dwelling (a granny flat) at 6 Finlay Street Slacks Creek, Townhouses at 21 Regency Place Mudgeeraba, Placing a dwelling on a constrained site at 7 Hartwig Crescent Mount Warren Park.

Recent work

Three jobs, described by what was actually done

What was asked, what we did, and where it stands.

Agency listing, on account

Three adjoining rural-residential lots, Purga (Ipswich)

Asked
The listing agency, ordering on its monthly account, wanted to tell buyers what each lot allowed: a second dwelling, a new house, and what the flood mapping meant for each.
Done
Each lot read against the Ipswich planning scheme, Council's flood and overlay mapping and Council's own historic flood reports; a planning assessment across the holding and a buildability assessment with a measured site plan.
Where it stands
Two written reports delivered to the agency on 24 September 2026, with a clear answer for each lot on second dwellings and the house site. The agents use them with buyers.
Planning project

A four-lot character holding, Bundamba (Ipswich)

Asked
The owner wanted four small lots realigned into three, keeping two pre-1946 houses on the front lots and creating a rear lot for a later dwelling.
Done
Stage one desktop assessment, a concept plan with lot areas and frontages, and a written pre-lodgement enquiry to Ipswich City Council with a twelve-item agenda tied to the scheme provisions (lot size, hatchet-lot outcomes, flood evacuation area, mining influence, character area).
Where it stands
Council answered in writing within two business days, confirming the pathway (code assessable) and the benchmarks and overlay codes the application must address. The application is now being prepared.
Homeowner report, interstate

A residential lot, Moonee Ponds (Melbourne)

Asked
The owner wanted to know every scenario the lot supports before deciding whether to develop or sell.
Done
A site possibilities report from the Victorian planning scheme and overlays in force at the parcel, with the pathway for each scenario.
Where it stands
Delivered by email on 28 September 2026, with the pathway for every scenario the lot supports.
