About

I’m Jake Pitt — Registered Planner

Committed to making planning clearer, approvals smoother, and learning more practical.

Practical support. Professional growth. Better planning for everyone.

Plan with Confidence

Navigating planning systems can feel daunting. I provide expert guidance through every stage of the development process — from early feasibility to final conditions — so you can make informed decisions, reduce risks, and achieve approvable outcomes.

Clear advice. Strong strategy. Defensible documentation.

Learn the System

Planning shouldn’t feel like a maze. Whether you’re a homeowner, developer, or community advocate, I help you make sense of planning rules so you can act with confidence.

Plain language. Practical guidance. Real outcomes.

Collaborate for Better Outcomes

Great planning is a team effort. I work with architects, engineers, councils, and communities to deliver responsive, evidence-based outcomes — with integrity and transparency at every step.

Stronger coordination. Better places. Shared success.

Why I Do This

I care deeply about the environment — the decisions we make today shape the conditions future generations must live with. Everyone deserves the ability to prevent poor planning outcomes and protect what matters.

I care about society and people having a voice in the places they call home. Planning should not be a barrier to participation — it should enable it.

I also genuinely enjoy the complexity of planning. I’ve worked on both sides of the system — in local and state government, and now in consultancy. I know what works, what doesn’t, and how to simplify uncertainty into clarity so others can succeed.

Empowering people to engage in planning strengthens our communities — and the places we share.
