Scope before price
Town planning costs
There is no responsible one-price-fits-all quotation. A property’s rights, municipality, proposal and supporting work determine which costs apply.
What a quotation should separate
- 1
Professional planning fees
Assessment, preparation, motivation, submission and follow-up. Scope, proposal scale, objections and linked applications affect the quotation.
- 2
Municipal application fees
Charges set by the relevant municipality’s current tariff. Confirm the application category, effective financial year and any separate charges.
- 3
Surveyor fees
Survey work, diagrams or general plans where subdivision, consolidation or township establishment requires a registered land surveyor.
- 4
Advertising & notification
Newspaper notices, site notices and service on affected parties where the applicable procedure requires public participation.
- 5
Specialist studies
Traffic, engineering, environmental, heritage or other assessments where the property and proposal require specialist input.
- 6
Conveyancing & registration
Title endorsements, transfers, servitudes and registration work where approval must be implemented through the Deeds Office.
- 7
Other statutory & implementation charges
Development contributions, services upgrades and compliance with approval conditions may create separate costs. These are not automatically included in an application fee.
