Our approach to strategic planning considers the broader environmental context, place-based considerations, infrastructure requirements and community needs alongside local and state planning policies.

Our capabilities include:

• Strategic advisory services
• Policy development, review and research (across town centres, housing, affordable housing, employment, growth management or rural lands)
• Local land use planning and housing strategies
• Planning proposals or rezonings (and Territory Plan variations in the ACT)
• Structure plans, masterplans and precinct plans
• Planning peer reviews
• Preparation (or review) of Local Environmental Plans (LEPs) and Development Control Plans (DCPs).
• Assisting State and local governments with the finalisation of planning proposals in metro and regional areas of NSW in accordance with the LEP Making Guidelines

Leverage our expertise across all areas of strategic planning

We have a detailed working knowledge of all strategic planning processes, with a track record for leading/facilitating successful rezonings (and development control changes), finalising planning proposal processes for authorities, preparing land use and other strategies that have been endorsed and adopted by State and local governments, and other strategic advisory services.

Strategic planning and statutory planning are two interconnected components of the overall planning system. Our planning professionals at Gyde can navigate both components and work seamlessly across strategic and statutory planning projects.
