Planit Consulting

What Planit Consulting does

Planit Consulting is an Australian multidisciplinary consultancy headquartered on the Gold Coast with additional regional offices in Lennox Head and Kingscliff, delivering integrated town planning, civil engineering, environmental planning and assessment, ecology, project and development management, and water services. Founded in 2002 and employing 50+ professionals, the firm serves three primary client groups: residential and commercial/industrial developers seeking development approvals; local councils and state agencies requiring planning, engineering, environmental, and project management support for public infrastructure; and land developers/investment groups undertaking large-scale master-planned communities and urban release projects across Northern NSW and South East Queensland.

The service portfolio is delivered as project-based consulting work using industry-standard engineering design software, planning tools, and environmental assessment methodologies; no proprietary technology platform is referenced. Differentiators center on multidisciplinary capability under one roof (reducing the number of consultants a client must coordinate), deep regional council relationships built over 22+ years, and qualified personnel holding specialist accreditations (REAP, NER, RPEQ, BAM, AIPM) plus ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications that allow the firm to prepare and peer-review environmental assessments and certify engineering outputs across NSW and QLD.

The revenue model is professional services fee-for-service: project-based fees, hourly consulting rates, and fixed-price service packages determined by project scope, complexity, and duration, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. Go-to-market is direct enterprise/field sales via regional offices and website inquiry, targeting both government procurement and private developer engagements. Notable engagements include planning services for 67+ ALDI stores since 2013, the Harvest Estate master-planned community (2024 UDIA NSW Award winner), the $12 million Ewingsdale Road upgrade, and the $7.5 million Northern Rivers Rail Trail.

Product overview

Planit Consulting is a multidisciplinary town planning, civil engineering, environmental planning, and project management consultancy offering a unified suite of integrated services rather than a discrete software product.

These six services are delivered by a team of 50+ experts across four regional offices in Australia and are applied together across residential, commercial, government, and industrial project types.
