Service Offering
Land Insights has worked with local government since our inception in 2002. Over that time we’ve built some great relationships with the sector. We are proud of our work and association with local government and each of our projects are treated with interest and respect with the aim of ensuring the end result is practical and applicable. We enjoy identifying innovative and fresh approaches to each project we undertake.
WALGA has established a Preferred Supplier Panel for the provision of Town Planning Consultancy Services to support Local Government operations. Land Insights has been appointed on the panel in the following areas:
It therefore pleases us to advise that we have been appointed by the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) as a preferred supplier for Town Planning Consulting Services. Under the terms of the preferred supplier arrangement we can offer strategic, statutory and regional planning, as well as planning project management services to all local governments in Western Australia.

WALGA provides centralised contract management and maintains a comprehensive set of terms and conditions that provides contractual protection for both parties to any engagement.
