Background

Starting his town planning career with the City of Gold Coast in 1998, Aaron gained valuable local government insight and techniques for analysing and negotiating complex planning issues. These unique challenges equipped Aaron with the necessary know-how to establish the highly successful town planning division of Brisbane’s Bartley Burns Certifiers and Planners in 2002. His close working relationship with building inspectors and private building certifiers in both these roles provided Aaron with an in-depth workable knowledge of building regulations and the Queensland Development Code.
Since opening our doors for business in 2012, Consult Planning has created a reputation as town planning experts. Based in Brisbane our town planners deliver efficient service at competitive pricing in a number of regions including the Gold Coast, Logan and other parts of Queensland. Clients return each time because we put them first, making sure we are there when they need us most. We pride ourselves on identifying and resolving issues quickly, creating outcome-based solutions to save you time and money.
Our ethical approach means we provide all known options and scenarios, including cost effective solutions – helping our clients make well-informed choices. We share our client’s vision for their projects and have their best interests in mind over our own.
