Subdivisions and planning for new communities
Designing and delivering new communities is at the core of Beveridge Williams’ planning services, and we are a recognised leader and award-winning consultancy in this field.
Our team of experienced town planners and land development consultants bring a holistic approach to subdivision and community planning, guiding projects from initial feasibility through to final approvals, and supporting our clients through compliance and construction.

- Due diligence and site feasibility
- Planning permits and development applications
- Community and stakeholder engagement

Due Diligence and Site Feasibility
We provide comprehensive due diligence and site assessment services to enable clients to make informed acquisition and development decisions. We identify key issues and risks early and by aligning with client priorities, our detailed evaluations streamline the path forward and mitigate potential challenges. Beveridge Williams value add is that we provide integrated insights across multiple disciplines ensuring a comprehensive assessment of risks and opportunities. We can also provide development costing, servicing advice, contamination assessment and boundary surveys inhouse to provide a comprehensive site evaluation.
Planning and Development Applications
From lodgment to decision, through to the fulfillment of permit and authority requirements, we offer comprehensive planning permit and development application services, managing all communications, submissions and negotiations. Throughout the process, we maintain communication with clients to ensure they stay informed every step of the way.
We also prepare design guidelines and offer a Design Assessment Panel.
Post-approval, we continue to support our clients to manage project changes in response to market conditions, managing Council secondary consent and amendments to approvals.
Project Coordination
Our team is well-versed in managing documentation for planning applications, ensuring that all necessary reports are meticulously prepared to support your project whilst ensuring regular communications and updates about the project. Beveridge Williams offers in-house services across landscape architecture, traffic and parking, waste management, survey, urban design, environmental assessments (contamination and groundwater), and engineering, providing a seamless experience for our clients, or our planners can work alongside your existing team.
Community and Stakeholder Engagement
Effective community and stakeholder engagement is integral to successful development. We work closely with local communities, Councils, and government agencies to address interests and concerns, fostering open dialogue that supports project acceptance and smooth progression.
