About Symplan

Our expertise

 Symplan is an urban and social planning practice supporting the private sector and Victorian state and local government in developing strategies that enhance health and wellbeing outcomes at the individual and community level.  Symplan is frequently offered repeated opportunities to assist local governments in Victoria in their strategic planning and policy development processes. We have a proven track record of completing both large and small scale consultancy projects, and designing the processes and team to match the scope of the tasks and expertise required. We often form collaborations between consultancies selected on the basis of their expertise, proven experience in the industry and similar values and philosophy. In many instances Symplan is the lead consultant, taking full responsibility for the project management and delivery of the final product.
