Development Application Plans
Professional DA drawings prepared to clearly communicate your proposed development and support council assessment.
Explore DA Plans →Professional development application and pre-lodgement plans for property owners, builders and developers. We combine clear drawings with practical development insight to help you make informed decisions before your project moves to council.
A successful development application starts well before the plans are submitted. Site layout, access, parking, setbacks, servicing and development yield can all influence the pathway ahead.
DA Plan prepares clear, practical drawings that help communicate your proposal to council, town planners and other project consultants. We focus on understanding what the project needs and identifying drawing issues early in the process.
Every site has its own opportunities, constraints and approval considerations. Our goal is to present the proposed development clearly so your project team can assess the next steps with greater confidence.
From early concept discussions to plans prepared for a formal development application, choose the service that best fits your project's stage.

A DA plan is a drawing or set of drawings that communicates a proposed development to council. Depending on the project, it may include site plans, floor plans, elevations and other supporting planning information.
Pre-lodgement plans are generally prepared to communicate a concept during early discussions with council. DA plans are prepared to support a formal development application. The required level of detail depends on the project and assessment requirements.
Our services include drawing support for dual occupancies, subdivisions, townhouse developments, industrial warehouses, commercial and retail projects, mixed-use proposals and other projects requiring planning drawings.
Fees depend on the size and complexity of the project, the required drawing package and the information available. Contact us with your property address and project brief to discuss the scope and obtain a tailored fee proposal.
