Town planning drawings are a crucial part of the building design process, providing a clear and detailed plan of how a proposed development will fit into the surrounding environment. These drawings are used by building designers, planners, and other professionals to ensure the development complies with all relevant regulations and suits the intended location.
In Australia, town planning drawings must adhere to local planning laws as well as national standards set by the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB). These regulations cover everything from building height and setbacks to access, parking, and environmental concerns such as water management and waste disposal.
Typical town planning drawings include site plans, floor plans, elevations, garden area plans, shadow analysis, and material or colour selection. Site plans show where the development will be situated in relation to nearby streets, buildings, and features, including details like setbacks, parking spots, and landscaping. Floor plans detail the interior layout, while elevations show the building’s appearance from different angles. Sections provide cross-sectional views, illustrating elements such as floor-to-ceiling heights and roof shapes.
In addition to these drawings, town planning documentation often includes reports such as traffic impact assessments, environmental impact studies, and heritage impact statements. Local planning authorities usually require these documents during the approval process.
