Darcy Canter
Director
“Upon completing my bachelor's degree with Honours in Urban and Regional Planning, I worked at different Council's within Victoria which helped me gain several insights into the day-to-day issues of developers, home owners and a variety of stakeholders in getting their projects finished. Hence, we decided to start a town planning firm to help people navigate the complexities of the planning permit process to achieve seamless results across residential, industrial and commercial developments as a one stop shop in Victoria”
