Strategic Planning
We embrace the macro and micro of planning to offer creative yet practical strategies.
Strategic planning has been at Hansen’s core since its inception over 25 years ago. From regional towns to bustling central business districts, our extensive experience encompasses policy reviews, structure and framework planning, land use strategies, planning scheme amendments, character studies and more.
Our team are known for the serious approach we take to the consideration of climate change and its importance in the future of sustainable settlement patterns and built environment outcomes. We pride ourselves on our meaningful and collaborative engagement with the people we work with, and communities we work in – we genuinely value the conversations we have with a wide spectrum of individuals, all of whom we believe have something to offer us in learning about the places in which we work or the way we approach projects.
We implement confident, creative, and workable solutions, providing clear direction derived from a wide-ranging understanding of the issues and opportunities specific to each project and a pro-active, problem-solving approach.
