Strategic & Integrated Development Planning

Site Planning

Management of the implementation of the planning is crucial to the success of a project. During the high level investigations for property development, site planning and investigations are done to determine the feasibility and development potential of the particular site. This is later translated into a development proposal, with a site development plan, prepared in collaboration with other members of the professional team.

Urban design guidelines are also developed to assist the implementation and in achieving the vision, this includes precinct plans, site layouts and subdivisions where required.​
