It was great working with Align Planning on a recent Development Application for a Granny Flat for my father.
Stephen looked after the application process and was very helpful in navigating the council’s requirements.

– I have worked with Stephen on several projects, with both of them achieving better than expected results. Stephen is great at responding quickly to any queries and getting the job done.

– I would highly recommend Stephen Northey from Align Planning, he helped make our building project a reality. From the first consultation he directed us towards the correct steps to take to get the best outcome for our dwelling/building extension. He helped us navigate through the forms, processes, to the final stage of collating all the necessary documents and reports for the certifier. He worked hard to keep us on track and the project moving along. He provided a very professional service that extended to the services he recommended. His knowledge, experience, and professionalism achieved a result that we are very happy with. Even though our project was not a large scale development he treated it with equal importance and urgency and has great patience, answering our numerous questions. We are very grateful and would recommend him and his company.

When I called Align Planning, I spoke with Stephen and he was very kind enough to assist us with our patio issue. He sent us an email with what needs to be done on that same afternoon. He was very prompt in providing us with response and keeping us updated. I highly recommend Stephen and his company.

Stephen from Align Planning was very informative and knowledgable from the outset. He provided early advice on important Gold Coast town planning concerns and kept the client and myself informed throughout the process through to approval.
I thoroughly recommend using Align Planning.

I engaged Stephen Northey from Align Planning to help with my development application to council.
The job was not entirely straight forward and required arranging various other consultants which Stephen handled with speed and efficiency. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Stephen fully understood our problems with council. He saw a way to solve the problem. The solution had to be found quickly. Stephen worked continuously towards it until resolve. I can only recommend Stephen as town planner. Stephen is efficient and one can rely that the work is done.

Our previous dodgy builder got us into an extremely tricky situation with council. Stephen at Align Planning helped us immensely throughout the process and finally got our project back on track! We would highly recommend Stephen and Align Planning to anyone looking for a great town planner and project manager for their building projects.

– Reliable, trustworthy service. Stephen helped us with our small subdivision. We could not have done it without his help is such an efficient manner.

A big thank you to Stephen Northey (Align Planning) for your diligence and guidance in sorting our Development Application.
We really appreciate your attention to detail during the design/planning reviews, and always being available to answer our queries. Your clear & concise DA submission, with regular follow ups, landed the Approval much sooner than we expected. A big relief – We are building already!

Just give Stephen a call, and you’ll know you’ve made the right choice.

Navigating building design, certifiers and council has been a confusing and costly process. As soon as I connected with Stephen, he walked me through each process and put the pieces of the puzzle together.

As for town planning, Stephen has a remarkable pulse on regulation and was immediately finding creative solutions + avenues to get to our end result and fast.

Ultra responsive, ultra informed, going with Stephen is a no-brainer!

Completely recommend working with Stephen. He is great at communicating with everyone and keeping me informed along the way. Totally across everything It was great to just give him the job and then he ran with it and took the stress off of me. Now to build!
Thanks Stephen. Legend!

– Called Steve for some general advice, he was more than willing to help and assess my situation prior to any engagement.

I have dealt with Steve for a long time. Maybe 7 years. He is always contactable within say 3 business hours. His advice is considered and has logic behind it. Still using him and will continue to do so

I have used Stephen Northey for various projects and inquiries over the last 7 years. I have always found him to be very prompt and professional and let me know of approx timelines for given work and he would adhere to them. I have no problem recommending Stephen for any projects you may have coming up.

Stephen Northey gave us a wonderful service. Great communication and very reasonable rate. He helped us also to minimise our cost . He is easy to work with . He achieved some wonderful results for us. Just amazing! Would not hesitate to recommend him

Our small lot subdivision and development had a number of challenges during the process however Stephen was always proactive in discussions between the relevant parties to obtain an acceptable outcomes. Stephen’s commitment and availability at all hours of the day achieved an outstanding result, thanks again

I have worked with Stephen on various projects of mine and have always found them to be knowledgeable and attentive about each of them. Highly Recommend them to anyone. I look forward to dealing with them again in the not too distant future.

Stephen and the team made the entire town planning process smooth and seamless. They recognise potential risks and issues early to ensure there are no surprises for the developer. They communicate throughout the process and get the job done!

Upfront and clear on their services. Very  prompt on their work. In future , I will seek their expertise in regard to Town Planning Services.

Had a few different town planners who said there is no chance to build my secondary dwelling however after someone recommended Stephen I realised that is really possible! Wasn’t easy process but Steve work’s really hard to push it all through and we were successful to build our house. His experience pays it off, I am really happy with what he have done for us, professional job, good advises, great communication, affordable prices!! We be definitely back soon
