About
Goel Planning
Goel Planning is an independent strategic planning and policy advisory practice, proudly based in the City of Melton and supporting clients across Victoria and Australia.
We provide strategic planning, planning policy, urban design and master planning services to councils, government agencies, developers and project teams. Our focus is on helping clients navigate complex planning challenges and deliver practical, evidence-based outcomes
Our services include strategic planning projects, planning scheme amendments, growth and precinct planning, activity centre planning, master planning, urban design, land subdivision and strategic development advice.
