Moreton Bay Town Planner: Elizabeth Franklin
Elizabeth Franklin has been an assessment officer with the Moreton Bay Regional Council for 5 years but has spent almost 2 decades working in the town planning industry.
That means she has extensive knowledge about the processes, what council is looking for, scheme requirements and what documentation is required.
5 Benefits of Working with a Town Planner
According to Elizabeth, here are some of the biggest benefits of engaging a town planner:
- Save money: Things are done properly the first time and costly issues are pointed out early and hopefully avoided.
- Dedicated person to liaise with Council: A good town planner will act as your liaison with council throughout the development process. They have pre-lodgement meetings with council and can ensure your application is compliant with local government regulations.
- Help drafting applications: They can draft your development application and carry out approval reviews.
- Assess development potential: Town planners can evaluate your property and estimate its development potential before you invest time or money.
- Make informed decisions about what land: A pre-purchase assessments with a town planner can help you avoid any costly errors in judgement, such as buying a property which you then cannot develop.
