About AS Planning
At AS Planning, our focus is solely on helping you obtain the town planning approvals you need.
We don’t draw building plans, instead, we work alongside your architect, builder, or suppliers to ensure that the planning process for your project is handled efficiently, with clear advice and professional reporting.
What is a Planning Permit?
A planning permit is legal approval from your local Council that allows you to use or develop land in a certain way.
Permits are required under the Victorian Planning Provisions and each Council’s local planning scheme. The process can be complex: some applications are straightforward, while others involve public notice, external referrals, and detailed assessments. Having the right advice early on helps prevent delays and refusals.
Key planning categories we can assist with
Sheds, Garages & Pergolas
From backyard storage to covered outdoor areas, permits can still apply, front setbacks, overlays and access often trigger assessment. We handle the planning detail so you can get on with the build.
Warehouses & Industrial Buildings
Warehouses, factories, and industrial sheds are a core part of Victoria’s growing economy. Many of these projects require a planning permit, even on industrial zoned land.
Subdivisions & Land Development
From simple two-lot splits through to major staged subdivisions, land development nearly always triggers a planning permit. AS Planning can prepare the reports, coordinate consultants, and guide applications through Council.
Signage & Business Identification
Promotional, illuminated, and even some business identification signs may require planning approval. We assist retailers, advertisers, developers and signage suppliers with signage permits across Victoria.
Farming & Agricultural Uses
Farm sheds, equine facilities, intensive animal husbandry, and other agri-business infrastructure can require planning permits. We work with landowners, financiers, and agricultural suppliers to streamline approvals.
Community & Specialist Facilities
Community centres, churches, childcare, emergency services facilities, and tourism uses can carry their own planning requirements. We provide guidance on unique or complex applications across these sectors.
