Residential
From a single alteration to multi-dwelling housing — assessed, documented and taken to council or a certifier.
Site first. Then plans.We help Sydney homeowners understand what their property can support, choose the right approval pathway and prepare the drawings to move forward.
From a backyard studio to twenty townhouses.
Homeowners, builders and developers all start at the same point: what the property can support, and which approval pathway gets the project there.
Homeowners
Granny flats, extensions, pools and conversions on the home you live in.
Builders
Dual occupancies, townhouses and the DA or CDC documentation your client's project needs.
Developers
Subdivision and multi-dwelling feasibility, with concept design before you commit.
What are you looking to get approved?
Commercial
Change of use and commercial premises, with the access, parking and amenity questions council asks first.
One team. Two disciplines.
Residential Plannings is a Sydney practice bringing town planning and architectural drafting into one process. We establish what's possible, identify the right approval pathway, and prepare the planning and drawing package to move forward.

Planning decisions deserve an experienced person on your side.
Residential Plannings is a founder-led practice. Maryana works with homeowners directly — reviewing the property, explaining the constraints in plain terms, and setting out the decisions that matter before money is spent on the wrong pathway.
“Most problems I see were locked in before anyone drew a plan. The earlier the planning questions are answered, the smoother everything after them becomes.”
Start with the right planning advice — not the paperwork.
Planning a granny flat, dual occupancy, new home or renovation? Each pathway has its own rules. We establish which applies to your property and what it takes to move forward.
Pools, garage conversions and post-consent support sit under other residential projects. Other projects
Start with the property.
The property as it stands
Every block carries its own zoning, controls and constraints. Most of them aren't visible from the street.
The planning picture
A Preliminary Planning Assessment maps the controls, constraints and approval pathways that apply to your property — before you spend on design.
What it can become
With the planning questions answered, the design brief becomes clear: what to build, which pathway to use, and what to instruct next.
Understand the property
We review the site, your proposal and the planning position.
Choose the pathway
We determine what planning, approval and documentation work is appropriate.
Prepare what comes next
We coordinate the planning case, drawings and supporting inputs.
Maryana helped us with DA submission to council, the service she provided is very professional and reliable. We felt we were in safe hands. Highly recommended.
“She gave me a peace of mind and saved my time from researching on complicated council regulations.”
