Town Planning Services
Social planning goes hand in hand with town planning. While urban planning typically considers the ‘man-made’ structure in its environment, social planning considers the ‘human factor’ – how people live, work and play.
The social needs of communities are constantly changing and evolving as our communities expand.
We help clients to consider the social impact of buildings. This includes factors such as location, purpose or use, and design.
It addresses how people will interact with the building or development once it is constructed in the community.
Social planning considers how people use transport and other public facilities, how and where they socialise and what services and amenities are needed to encourage social cohesion amongst the diverse ages, cultures and socio-economic groups that make up our communities.
Social planning is founded on the principles of social justice (equity, access, participation and rights) and aims to enhance community wellbeing and effectiveness.
A key aspect of social planning is the public consultation process that Development Applications go through, allowing community members to provide feedback on development proposals.
