ABOUT MELTING POT PLANNING
Melting Pot Planning is a friendly, community-minded consultancy with more than three decades’ experience in local government and delivering outcomes for the community.
This experience has given us a well-developed understanding of the council decision-making processes, strategic and political motivations, and also the drivers behind community needs and expectations.
We understand that the planning process can be daunting in its complexity, and frustrating in its ever-changing regulations, and we will adopt a practical approach and work with you to bring clarity, to broker sustainable, cost-effective outcomes.
We are inclusive, agile and outcome-driven, as well as affordable and highly experienced in collaborating with all levels of government, not-for-profits, community groups
Melting Pot Planning is focused on people, place
