Once again thank you for your efforts and support it was very much appreciated."

"CS Town planning helped me to secure a planning permit with very few conditions. They were able to address all the concerns raised by council for a design which originally had a number of compliance issues. They provided services above and beyond expectations. Engaging CS means much more than planning reports, they will also communicate with the relevant authorities and provide thorough follow up advice throughout the planning process. I can highly recommend CS Town planning to you."
- Kritsana Chaiwatanatorn - Melbourne.
"The CS team prepared a well-researched objection, which has been submitted to Council.
