What Our Clients Say: Proven Results in Town Planning
EXCELLENT Based on 115 reviews Posted on James TramTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first interaction, through to our approval Darcy was fantastic. Having completely no understanding of the process and requiring quick turn around for our medical clinic, Darcy was patient and clearly explained everything. Provided us with options, as well as a education and advice about the best way forward. Highly recommend!Posted on Dave OwenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Risky Kids have now worked with Darcy and the team at Canter Town Planning across three of our franchised kids’ club locations, each presenting completely different and complex planning challenges. For one site, we had strong council support but significant opposition from the Owners Corporation. For another, council was supportive but concerned neighbours created challenges. And for the third site, we faced the difficult situation of not having council support at all. Despite the very different circumstances at each location, Darcy and his team developed tailored strategies for every application and were instrumental in both the planning approach and execution required to secure all three town planning permits successfully. I believe their strategic thinking, persistence, and deep understanding of the planning process made an enormous difference to the outcome. I could not recommend Darcy and the team at Canter Town Planning more highly.
