Elevating Education: Barr Planning’s Impact

At Barr Planning, we are passionate about planning projects that focus on the education sector throughout the Hunter, Central Coast and Sydney regions. 

We are currently working on over 20 different projects spanning the Independent, Public and Catholic school systems, and ranging in scale from State significant development applications for new schools, to simpler projects advising our school clients on the available planning approval pathways under the Transport and Infrastructure SEPP.

Recently, we had the privilege of working with Margaret Jurd College at Shortland, to assist them in gaining development consent to expand staff and student numbers, along with enhancing the car park entry and the school’s presentation to the street. This approval will play a pivotal role in supporting the school’s growth and development into the future.  

We look forward to providing our services to many more educational projects, and assisting schools to create places that not only meet the educational needs but also nurture, empower and inspire the next generation of students.
