Frequently Asked Questions
What information should I include in my enquiry?
Please include your property address, a short description of what you’d like to do. This helps us assess your site and give you clear, specific planning advice right from the start.
How long does the town planning process take?
Timeframes depend on the project and council involved. Simple code-assessable developments can take a few weeks, while impact-assessable applications may take several months. We’ll outline realistic timelines and help you avoid unnecessary delays.
Do you only work in the Moreton Bay region?
No — Scope Town Planning provides services across Queensland, from Cook Shire and Cairns to the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast. Our local experience with multiple councils means your project is managed efficiently no matter where it’s located.
Can I get initial advice before committing to a full application?
Yes — we offer obligation-free initial consultations and fixed-fee property advice services. You’ll receive a clear overview of what’s possible, the likely level of assessment, and the next steps to move forward with confidence.
Do I need council approval for my project?
Most developments in Queensland — from sheds and extensions to subdivisions or new land uses — require some level of council approval. Scope Town Planning reviews your property zoning, overlays and use to confirm what’s needed before you spend money on designs or applications.
