There are many things in dealing with Andrew and AS Planning that you should know, firstly is the professionalism that is shown from the first interaction, the attention to detail, the response times in communication, but to me most important was the person himself and the committment that Andrew showed to helping us get the outcome we needed in a timely and cost effective manner when dealing with complicated council requirements and documentation. I cannot personally recommend AS Planning and Andrew more highly.

I was struggling for weeks to get my signage permit across the line with the Council and was getting nowhere until Andrew from AS Planning came on board. From the very first conversation, he took complete ownership of the process and went above and beyond to get everything resolved in record time.Andrew’s professionalism, responsiveness, and depth of knowledge were exceptional. He immediately understood the technical and compliance aspects, prepared all the required documentation perfectly, and communicated with the Council so efficiently that what had seemed like a major hurdle was sorted out far sooner than I expected.What impressed me most was his attention to detail and proactive attitude — he didn’t just tick boxes; he genuinely wanted to see the outcome through to completion. His clarity, follow-up, and commitment to results were truly outstanding.I’m genuinely amazed by how effective and easy he made the entire process. I would highly recommend Andrew and AS Planning to anyone needing assistance with signage approvals or any kind of town planning. Absolutely first-class service!

I submitted an online enquiry for a consultation on my proposed renovation work at my property. The company Director, Andrew, replied within 30-min and guided me through the process.

We engaged (approached) Andrew for obtaining the planning permit for our knock down rebuild. We haven’t completed the process due to some hiccups in the neighbour’s building process. Andrew is providing us effective resolution strategies to approach the situation (building process) smoothly and effectively. Andrew’s commitment towards the client satisfaction is to be applauded. He made sure that he submitted all the required documents with the council (as soon as we gave them to him.) before he heads off to holidays, even went further to check and provide updates.We are very happy with Andrew’s commitment, professionalism, easy approach and his timely advises. We will happily recommend AS planning to anyone.

His deep knowledge of council permits and requirements made the process smooth and efficient. From our initial consultation to permit approval, Andrew’s responsiveness and commitment to customer satisfaction were consistently evident.What truly sets Andrew apart is his proactive approach in liaising with both the council and the builder. He ensures that every requirement not only meets council standards but also aligns with our specific needs.Despite having a few hiccups during our application process, Andrew’s professionalism and responsiveness have significantly enhanced our experience.I highly recommend him to anyone in need of similar service.

This is our first business venture and it was quite daunting having to deal with the council. Andrew is really knowledgeable and provided us with the details of the process straight up so we knew exactly what to expect. Andrew liaised us with the architecture, traffic engineer and followed up with the Council whilst keeping us in the loop the whole time. Any additional questions I had were answered promptly. Thank you so much Andrew - we were quite nervous coming into this but it has been such a smooth process with you and we couldn’t be happier we have received our permit!!! 😊

Andrew from AS Planning just completed a knockdown rebuild planning permit application for us and we couldn't be happier with his service. We found Andrew to be highly professional, accessible and very knowledgeable and efficient in his work, with great tips on navigating council's requirements. He has a great team of services (landscape architect, arborist etc.) that he partners with and his communication was excellent throughout the process from start to finish. Very happy with our decision to go with AS planning and would highly recommend and use again!

We recently engaged Andrew to work with us on obtaining our planning permit for an indoor horse arena. We're so glad that we did! He was very easy to talk to, he was very thorough, he kept us informed, but most of all, he knows his stuff! Our permit was was granted without a hitch and so much quicker than we expected (we all know how difficult local councils can be!) We highly recommend using AS Planning - thank you so much for your assistance Andrew, we're excited to start building!

We engaged Andrew to assist us with a new build on an empty block in well established zone in Frankston. We didn't realise that there was a protected tree overlay to the block as there was not one physically there! Anyone who knows Frankston Council knows it is a nightmare.. He worked through the false red tape and got the result we needed. Andrew is a miracle worker who goes the extra yards to provide a smooth and painless experience for you as he deals with the bureaucracy and gets the results. Can't recommend him enough.

Knock down rebuild is a complex, tedious and stressful process. Any service that can help diminish this pressure is gratifying. That is what we experienced with Andrew from AS Planning. Seldom someone comes along who leaves such a great impression.Andrew is a value-based professional. Core to his town planning and advisory services are Ownership, Accountability and Bias for Action.As an expert in town planning, he takes ownership of solving problems, finds creative ways to solve them and takes complete accountability of structuring it and achieves desired results (from arborists, councils, builder, etc). His proactive follow ups with these entities, prompt updates to us and flexibility to accommodate changes along the way sets him apart from the crowd. He was generally a step ahead of us.We also observed Andrew has an innate ability to get tasks moving quickly by identifying the right person/stakeholder (with the council, builder, etc) to reach out to and by leveraging his experiences from other clients.Andrew's pleasing demeanour, 'to-the-point' conversations and his ability to respond quickly (sometimes even during non-business hours and holidays) are rare in this industry.Engaging Andrew (AS Planning) has been the best part of our project.

We highly recommend Andrew Stubbings at AS Planning for all things town planning. We have had a difficult process getting our new build through council and Andrew handled all the paperwork, applications and negotiations with persistence and patience.

Just had a planning permit approved with the help of the team at AS Planning .
It was not a good experience dealing directly with the council for setting up our outdoor dining space at our new store. Wasted months and months with on end, getting stone walled at every corner.
So glad Andrew was there to help! If anyone needs a permit and wants a pro reach out to Andrew direct.
He is already working on our next Blackburn development, keep you informed when that’s ready for sale 👍
(18/04/2023)
We used AS Planning for our knock down rebuild project and we could not be happier. Dealing with council requirements can be very time consuming and confusing. Andrew from AS Planning was fantastic from the minute we got in contact with him, he was quick to respond to everything we needed and the process was smooth sailing.
We would highly recommend Andrew from AS Planning for any of your planning needs. (11/04/2023)
We engaged Andrew through recommendation by a 3rd party. As a couple that generally prepare and lodge documents ourselves, we opted into Andrew’s services with an open mind as to whether it was best fit for us. Having now obtained approval for our plans, I can really attest to the benefit of having Andrews team in your corner.
From a cost saving view point Andrew ticked all the boxes and we are very thankful that we took the pathway with Andrew’s expertise. Without him, our project may have incurred far greater costs than we anticipated. Dealing with your council and the everchanging environment of building and planning is getting harder and harder. If you are on the cusp of applying for council plan approval and reading this, I thoroughly recommend AS Planning. (23/03/2023)
Andrew at AS Planning has been instrumental in the successful and timely attainment of our permit to build our residential property in Rosebud. With his industry expertise, he expediated the process for us as we were on a tight schedule. We couldn’t believe how quickly he was able to work. Complementing his speedy timelines, he also paid great attention to detail ensuring that all aspects of the planning process were checked and checked again and we were always very closely informed on the process throughout.
Most impressively, Andrew guided us smoothly through a dispute with a neighbour and successfully facilitated a positive outcome for all, keeping in mind the interests of both parties and protecting neighbourly relations. We wouldn’t hesitate to contact Andrew again for future projects and have already started recommending him to friends and family.
We would encourage anyone seeking a reliable and dedicated town planner to enlist in AS Planning.
(15/02/23)
We’ve worked with Andrew at AS planning for multiple projects now due to his consistent ability to provide timely quality support in gaining our planning permits. He has continued to prioritise our work at short notice and consistently goes above and beyond is when dealing with the local councils.
Andrew is direct and open in his communication style, which we greatly appreciate. His coordination of permits and advice in dealing with the council on one of our recent project was excellent. The council were slow to respond and continued to move the goal posts. Andrew was quick to respond to their RFIs and applied suitable pressure to carry the application through to approval.
We will continue to work with Andrew and AS Planning and would highly recommend him to other developers.
(19/12/2022)

Working with Andrew from AS Planning has been a pleasure. We were kept informed on the progress of our council planning application every step of the way. Andrew handled everything, even helping us to organise an arborist report that our council requested. Everything was handled very professionally and expediently. Thank you for your service Andrew, we have no hesitation in recommending AS Planning to anyone who needs plans submitted and approved by council. What would have otherwise been an arduous task was made easy and stress free.
(03/10/2022)
My husband and I are building our house and being first time builders we were trying many ways to save money were we could and the Town Planning application was one on our list.
I thought I could save myself a few thousand dollars but after further consideration and advice from our builder, I enlisted Andrew to assist us with the application. Boy are we so thankful that we made that decision as it was way over our heads and what could have saved us money in the start may have cost us more in the long run.
Andrew took over the process and kept us updated with the application. The permit was swiftly granted which I believe was because Andrew knew what process to follow, knowledge in his field and forms to complete and asked the right questions. Just gave us time to focus on other things. He also kept following up with the council, which is something we just didn’t have time for.
I would highly recommend using Andrew and his services without a doubt. Thank you Andrew, we really appreciate you and the efforts you put into our application.
(25/09/2022)

Andrew was very professional, knew his work, super engaged and happy to help you with whatever questions you may have. I’m very glad to have used AS Planning, as they made the whole approval process simple and easy. The timeline I received from other town planners to get our council approval and approval from Melbourne waters as our land was in flood zone was 6 weeks and Andrew got these back within 10 days, amazing results. I highly recommend Andrew and AS Planning. (16/08/2022)
Andrew has been excellent to work with and has gone above and beyond to provide us with amazing support and advice. Our build and it’s planning process was extremely complex, and Andrew took the time to explain every step and bring us along for the journey.
We had a number of challenges with our council, Andrew consistently went in to bat for us and ensured we met our objectives as much as possible. (21/07/2022)

My wife and I needed a Town Planner to assist with our building approval for our knock-down rebuild.

I absolutely would recommend Andrew to assist you with getting your council permit. He manages to find a way through the jungle of town council planning and always keeps you informed about the progress and any details that require your input. (19/05/2022)
I could not recommend Andrew highly enough. Having never built a house before we were very nervous about the process & mainly the planning approval process. Andrew took full control & guided us step by step through this process which made the whole process a smooth one. Honest communication was always maintained so we knew exactly what was going on & where we were at through the process. I would be more than happy for anyone considering using Andrew to call me in person & discuss our experience with him. (20/05/2022)
Andrew was extremely helpful with reviewing the site and determining the best course of action to allow the building design to proceed. He was very knowledgeable when it came to tree removal and working with Council guidelines to create the best outcome for the future build. Andrew was always quick to respond to queries and provided great advice through his expansive knowledge of planning permits. Andrew was a pleasure to deal with during the whole process and I would highly recommend his services for anyone planning on starting a new build or renovation. (22/05/2022)
I have utilised AS Planning’s services for several of my past projects and have found on each occasion the planning advice, to be considered and cost effective. Of particular value has been the inclusion of constructive suggestions in order to meet the planning guidelines whilst maximising the desired outcome (design intent) for the project. I have no reservation in recommending AS Planning’s services to other potential clients. (25/05/2022)
We are in the process of completing a knock-down rebuild project for our new home. Andrew was instrumental in making the Town planning process (one that can be lengthy and extremely stressful), a smooth and painless journey for us. The council insisted we followed a process that would have added a couple of months to our town planning approval, but Andrew used his knowledge and was pro-active in collating relevant information and engaging the Council which resulted in us being able to avoid those extended timelines. Andrew’s professionalism and work ethic is highly commendable. We really appreciated his tremendously pro-active and responsive nature. He is an excellent communicator and kept us well informed every step of the way. Andrew was always a pleasure to deal with and we have already recommended him to family and friends. (25/05/2022)
We engaged Andrew after a recommendation from our draftsman. Andrew has been fantastic to work with, he tells everything as it is with no sugar coating – which is exactly what we want when dealing with regulatory planning constraints. Andrew has extensive knowledge of state planning controls and local council planning overlays and is able to quickly and thoroughly assess and provide feedback on concepts and plans that we are looking to implement on different sites. We would not hesitate to recommend Andrew to any friends or clients and we look forward to continue working with him. (26/05/2022)
AS Planning is a supportive practice. Andrew and his team are professional and responsible with great knowledge and experience in [the] town planning industry. It has been a pleasure to work with them and looking forward to further opportunities. (26/05/2022)
Andrew successfully steered my planning application through Surf Coast Council. He prepared documentation and strategically identified and managed issues that could arise.

Andrew provided a way through the increasingly complex maze of regulation and compliance that can be daunting to anyone without the knowledge, skills and patience required. I have engaged Andrew with projects in the past and will have no hesitation in using Andrew’s service in the future. (26/05/2022)
I did my first duplex project with Andrew. He is very professional and experienced. He managed to obtain the permit for me in 2 months, with one extra garage. The miracle result came from his thoughtful consideration and accuracy. I will work with Andrew for my next project. (23/05/2022)

I’ve known Andrew in a professional capacity for over 12 years. As Building Surveyors we often have new jobs that may or may not trigger Town Planning.

Andrew has acted with the utmost of professionalism and integrity in all professional settings I have been involved with him. I have no qualms in recommending his services to people seeking planning advice. (30/05/2022)

I was lucky to have Andrew’s advice on two different subdivision projects. One project involved a pre-purchasing analysis… which had to be done urgently… In the end, he provided me with a short informative summary with a potential subdivision plan for before the auction. Because of his work and professional advice, then I was confident to attend the auction. The second project… is designed to have the property subdivided into a front and a back units. One of the key challenges was to have the carport for the front unit in front of the unit instead at the back of the unit, in order to maximise the space for the back unit… In the end, with the help from Andrew, I had successfully convinced the council to accept my new carport proposal. This is a great outcome for the subdivision project! I highly recommend Andrew. He is professional and can achieve great results! (1/6/2022)
Andrew has provided exceptional service throughout our building process. We’re challenged by a unique property and council rules to navigate in order to get building approval. Andrew’s experience has been invaluable, providing advice as well as advocating to find the right balance between our builder and council. Andrew’s industry connections with other service providers also helped us promptly jump unexpected hurdles as they came up. If we ever find ourselves building again, I wouldn’t hesitate to engage Andrew right away. (5/6/2022)

I was fortunate to come across Andrew when I found myself with a Planning problem, Council did not support my cafe application. I attempted to apply for the application with Council not knowing what I was doing. Andrew knew exactly what was required, arranged the external consultant reports and we resubmitted the application to Council, which was approved. We even did not receive one objection. Coming from a hospitality background and starting a couple businesses with my friends and family, I wish I knew Andrew sooner. I highly recommend Andrew and look forward to working on future projects. (15/06/2022)

Little Fish has been working with Andrew from AS Planning for some time now and we can assure that he is thoroughly knowledgeable about all planning perspectives. Andrew always has a can-do attitude and innovative approaches towards tackling Town Planning issues. He provided us elaborative explanations on what complies before submission, during Council RFI’s and post advertising which guided us towards a positive outcome. Moreover, Andrew is also very quick at his responses and has really good people skills. He is capable of understanding and managing especially the council planners and has really good instincts on dealing with tricky situations.
