totii for town planners

Your Superstar Colleague for Planning Applications

You didn’t become a town planner to drown in paperwork. Imagine a colleague who knows every planning scheme clause, every council requirement, every client case, and how you write.

sound familiar?

“I spend more time on reports than actual planning.”

“Clients keep asking for updates I don’t have time to send.”

“I missed an RFI deadline because it got buried in emails.”

“Every DA report takes 3-10 days to write from scratch.”

“I’m checking planning scheme clauses for the hundredth time.”

“I can’t take on more clients—I’m already maxed out.”

Town planning is rewarding work. The admin around it isn’t.
