The Balance story.
Balance Planning is a boutique town planning consultancy operating throughout metropolitan Sydney and regional NSW. We provide a range of town planning services including planning advice, development application preparation and liaison with approval authorities.
Balance was established by Ryan Gill in late 2019 who was inspired by professional and personal life events to establish and operate a people-focussed town planning consultancy with a mandate to deliver balanced planning outcomes.

The most successful development projects are those that result in balanced planning outcomes, where no one factor prevails at the detriment of another. A balanced outcome requires a balanced approach throughout the planning process, and this is central to how we do business.
At Balance Planning we take a people-focussed approach and encourage open and ongoing dialogue amongst the client and members of the project team. Our personable approach extends to the stakeholders beyond the project team including those responsible for determining development proposals.
By fostering relationships and encouraging meaningful dialogue, a project has a much greater chance of overcoming aspects of conflict or tension which inevitably arise in the process of planning for a project and obtaining an approval. Further, the prospects of achieving a balanced outcome are enhanced.

about me.
Ryan Gill | Town Planner
I have 10+ years of industry experience in various government and private sector planning roles. During a brief hiatus from working life to travel the globe with my partner in early 2019, I returned to Sydney to launch Balance Planning.
I enjoy the dynamic and ever-changing nature of planning. The role has and continues to afford me opportunities to work on a range of development projects varying in scale and complexity, and I draw energy from the fact that no day is the same.
