PAEC — a planner-led technical team
PAEC stands for Planner, Architect, Engineer and Constructor. Our technical advisory team is led by planners, with architects, engineers and constructors at its core, coordinating planning, design, engineering and construction expertise around your project.
Team members, applicable registrations and licences, and responsibilities are confirmed for each engagement.
Complex and emerging development
Discuss NSW State Significant Development (SSD), emerging land uses, difficult site constraints and proposals involving multiple authorities. We define the planning strategy, evidence requirements and specialist coordination needed for the agreed scope.
Our aim is a well-prepared, coordinated application. Approval decisions remain with the relevant authority.

Selected parcel Address location Select an address to begin
PROPERTY SNAPSHOT
Sources, mapped controls & coverage notes
Preliminary spatial screening only, not a planning certificate, title search or development approval. Confirm the selected lot and applicable instruments before making a property or development decision. “No mapped intersection” is not confirmation of no restriction. Bushfire mapping is not an emergency warning or a BAL assessment.
FREE / PROFESSIONAL REGISTER GUIDE
Check the person.
Know the credential.
Find the appropriate official register for an Australian professional. Enter a name or registration number, then check the current record with the registering body.
Registration is specific to the profession and jurisdiction. Check the name, registration number, current status, area of practice and any conditions.
PIA Registered Planner is a professional association credential. Engineers Australia’s NER is a professional register. Neither should be treated as a substitute for applicable statutory registration. This tool directs you to the source; it does not certify an individual.
