FAQs

  • Why do I need a town planner?

    Having a town planning consultant on board can make a huge difference to the success and timing of your planning permit application. While anyone can lodge a planning permit application, as planning consultants we have a particular insight into the Council processes and what Council will (or won’t!) support. We also have a detailed understanding of how to justify and support variations to Council requirements.

  • Why Keen Planning?

    When you work with Keen Planning your project receives the attention, focus and time required to achieve your planning approval within agreed timeframes. We have a success rate of over 93 percent at achieving planning permits through Council and avoiding the lengthy and costly delays associated with planning appeals. This success rate is a result of our systemised, streamlined and proven approach to managing and processing your proposal.

  • Do I need a planning permit?

    This is one of the first questions that you need to ask when looking to develop your site. Knowing the answer to this question as early as possible will allow you to budget and plan properly for your project, no matter how big or small. By speaking with us, we will not only determine these planning permit triggers but we will also manage the challenges that accompany them throughout the planning permit process.

  • What do I need to know before purchasing a development site?

    The key question you need answered before purchasing a development site is ‘is this the right site for what I am proposing?’ If you want to maximise your yield and your chances of gaining a planning permit for your proposal, you need to select an appropriate site. If you are in need of assistance, Keen Planning offers a range of services including site feasibility studies and preliminary planning assessments / advice.

  • What other consultants will I need? Can you help us select the consultants?

    Depending on the planning controls affecting your site, the consultants you need to assist you will vary. For example, sites affected by environmental policies may need the assistance of an Arborist. Or, a complex basement design might require input from a Traffic Engineer. We have carefully selected a wide range of consultants that understand what is required to provide the best possible support for your planning proposal.

  • How long does it take to get a planning permit?

    This is the most difficult question we have to answer as it hugely depends on the type of project, challenges that may arise and the parties involved. A planning permit application can vary from as little as 4 weeks to 12 months depending on the varied elements of the planning process. Factors that can influence the time of an application can include Council opposition, objections and referrals to external authorities such as Melbourne Water.

  • How much will it cost?

    Our services are extensive and range from a one off meeting with you to provide initial advice on the feasibility of your project through to handling all aspects of your planning application. We are open and transparent about our costs and are happy to provide you with a free preliminary review of your project and the likely costs. After this meeting we can provide you with a detailed quotation of the services we can offer.

  • What is the best way to contact you?

    Feel free to contact us via our website, phone or email.

  • Is your business registered?

    Yes, our business is registered.

  • Is your staff well experienced?

    Yes, our staff is well skilled and experienced.
