At Rowe Group, Town planning is the core of what we do.
We have spent the last 25 years planning successful land and property developments, and we have a proven track record of achieving results. Our ServicesLet's Create Something TogetherSERVICES
Obtaining Development Approval can sometimes be a long and overwhelming journey, for any type of development. But with an experienced team on your side, this process will be faster, smoother, and more likely to yield positive results.
We provide comprehensive planning services for large and small-scale projects, including:
- Development applications
- Subdivision applications
- Rezoning requests and Scheme Amendments
- Structure Plan and Local Development Plan applications
- Submissions on development proposals
- Applications for Review (e.g. appeals)
- Expert advice for land compensation claims
- Research and data collection
- Planning studies and Scheme reviews
In addition to the planning aspects of a project, we can manage the design and implementation of the project through our dedicated Urban Design and Project Management Divisions.

OUR APPROACH
Our approach to planning is very much about collaboration at every level.
We cooperate internally, liaise with government agencies and consult with external advisers, and work closely with our clients.
Right from the start, our planners share information and ideas with our Design and Delivery Teams so that we can achieve the optimum balance between design and statutory requirements, examine how planning decisions might impact the delivery of the project, and resolve any issues before they arise.
Over the years we’ve developed strong relationships with key government agencies and, together, we work on finding solutions that satisfy the needs of our clients and the community.
We also consult with other experts and, whenever necessary, engage the services of professional consultants to assess the environmental and social impacts of a project.
OUR TOWN PLANNERS
Every successful outcome is the result of the dedication and knowledge of the people behind it. We’ve assembled a team of planners who share diverse skills and experience, and show their full commitment to every project they work on.
Our town planners have excellent negotiation and advocacy skills, a firm grip on planning laws and approval processes, and an established rapport with government colleagues, which all adds to better project outcomes.
But perhaps our greatest skill is taking the hassle out of the planning process for our clients, and partnering with our clients on the project journey.
When it comes to securing development approvals, experience can often be the decisive factor in a project’s success.

When it comes to securing Development Approvals, experience can often be the decisive factor in a project’s success.
We’ve completed a multitude of projects for a diverse range of clients, faced a multitude of planning issues, and dealt with thousands of Development Applications at local and state levels.
Our experience extends beyond the fundamental planning services and can be divided into six key service areas:
Government
Community Engagement
Advocacy
But lodgement of an application is just the start of the process, with much of the critical work taking place later, when we negotiate outcomes with approval agencies. Our Planning staff have a wealth of experience gained from working with state and other government agencies, so we are well placed to advocate on all sorts of projects in metropolitan and regional areas.
We understand that every project is important to the client, regardless of the scale and complexity of the tasks at hand, and we work not only for professional land developers, but for people from a range of backgrounds, including small business owners, retailers, and landowner groups.
Rowe Group’s experienced planning advocates often represent Clients at the State Administrative Tribunal. In addition, our planning team can act as expert planning witnesses at the Tribunal and in other jurisdictions.
Our advocacy experience further extends to land compensation and acquisition (resumption) matters.
Activity Centres
Urban Renewal
Urban renewal involves the regeneration of under-utilised inner and central city sites for contemporary living and mixed-use residential and commercial purposes. This process starts with site context analysis, schematic design, community consultation and statutory approvals, which include planning, environmental and heritage.
We specialise in urban renewal project coordination and work extensively with architects, technical advisors and government to deliver urban design outcomes that enhance the built environment and sustainability of our communities.
Resources and Industry
Rowe Group’s experience extends to the agricultural sector, working with rural land users to obtain approvals for, and to protect rural industries.
