We have just received a quote from M's suggested town planners and it is much more than I would have guessed (although I had no idea) - a little over $6000 include GST. I'm not sure if this is standard, or on the high side.... We are in Melbourne. We applied the planning permit ourselves and we paid the council planning application fees around $1,200 but the fees depends on your build cost. After that when we got to know that we need to submit bush fire statement, we engaged a town planner which we paid $2,900 inclusive the report plus GST. Definitely is less than $6,000. If you don't have any building restriction issues and you have time to liaise with council yourself, I would reckon to do it yourself. Let me know if you need more information. I don't mind to share. 😊 We are in Melbourne too!
