Planning 4 Sustainable Development (P4SD), is a small but unique land use and environmental planning firm specializing in policy planning, research, technical assessment, designs and capacity building.

We are unique in that we provide a one stop shop for development planning and environmental management. Our key staff have been involved in land use development and sustainability work here and overseas for over 25 years. This has ranged from residential subdivision design, industrial planning, city structure planning, large EIA & EMPs and coastal zone management planning - to the formulation of sustainable development policy and strategies for countries, the negotiation of sustainability text for UN organs, capacity reviews for international organizations and the design and implementation of national land use planning systems.

We have practiced in multiple jurisdictions, have local, state and federal government experience and are well versed in requirements for land use, development and environmental management both here in Australia and overseas.

Our business model is designed to ensure that we are quick reacting, geographically flexible and honest with our commitment of resources. The people you meet will be the people working on your project.

We build teams with an association of natural resource management, land use and environmental planning and development. Professionals who believe in the pursuit of integrated planning approaches for sustainable development.
Our work therefore often covers a mix of elements:

Policy
Technical
Institutional, and
Individual capacity building

The principal players involved in P4SD, each have over 20 years experience in the sustainable development field. We have worked in multi-jurisdictions on technical projects (from urban development to environmental assessments for rocket launch sites); policy projects (e.g Environmental Conflicts in Pacific Island Countries) and capacity building initiatives often in remote areas. We offer cutting edge approaches to community development and natural resource management matters.
