Town Planning
OVERVIEW
Getting approvals right the first time.
A smoother path to construction.
At MKM Building Group, we understand that no building project can move forward without the right approvals. That’s why our Town Planning service is built to take the complexity out of the process – managing permits, compliance, and council communications from start to finish.
Our experienced team provides end-to-end permit management, ensuring that your development meets all planning and regulatory requirements before construction begins. We take care of the details, from preparing documentation to navigating council approvals, so you don’t have to.
Whether you’re working on a commercial, industrial, or community project, we make sure your planning phase is handled efficiently, professionally, and with minimal stress.
A Clear, Structured Process
Town planning can often feel like a maze of paperwork, policies, and approvals.
Our role is to simplify that maze.
We coordinate and manage all required documentation, reports, and drawings, while also acting as your representative in dealings with council, referral authorities, and consultants.
From lodging planning permit applications to responding to council feedback and navigating conditions, we ensure every step is covered. We’ll keep you informed of key decisions and milestones, but we handle the technical and compliance side so you can focus on the bigger picture.


Your Advocate Through the Approval Process
Our team understands the nuances of working with local councils across Victoria.
We know what they’re looking for, and how to present your project in the best possible light. By identifying potential risks and addressing them early in the process, we reduce delays and improve the likelihood of a smooth approval.
We work collaboratively with our in-house design, construction, and project teams to ensure your planning submission is not only compliant but also aligned with your long-term project goals. It’s not just about getting approval, it’s about getting approval that sets your project up for success.
INCLUSIONS
What’s included in our town planning service:
- Planning permit applications and council liaison – We prepare and submit all required documentation, reports, and plans, and communicate directly with council and relevant authorities throughout the process.
- Architectural, structural, and services design – Our in-house team develops designs that meet planning and building regulations while staying true to your scope and functionality needs.
- Full building permit documentation and contract-ready pricing – Once planning is approved, we prepare complete documentation for building permit application and detailed pricing, so you’re ready to move directly into construction.


Integrated for Efficiency
Because town planning is just one phase in a broader project journey, we ensure it connects seamlessly with what comes next.
By keeping planning, design, and construction under one roof at MKM Building Group, we avoid the fragmentation that often leads to rework, delays, or cost overruns.
With our end-to-end project knowledge, we can plan ahead, flag issues early, and prepare permit documentation that supports a faster transition to construction.
Peace of Mind, From Start to Stamp
Approvals can be one of the most time-consuming and uncertain parts of a build. With MKM by your side, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
We’ll guide your project through the planning process with clear communication, practical solutions, and an unwavering focus on compliance and quality.
