20.01.2022 At Steffan Town Planning, we have taken some time to reflect on our priorities and figure out what we, as a company, can do to help our industry thrive as Australia begins to rebuild the economy. Over the past few months, we’ve been hard at work creating a business directory, specialising in building strong and smart development teams for your projects across the South East Queensland region - A developers directory. Our clients frequently approach us to ask for referrals to ...other businesses. We want to make it easier for customers to find and connect with the professionals they need to get their projects off the ground, faster. It is my hope that this platform will not only make it easier for everyday people to find the professionals needed for their developments, but also to aid local businesses in helping them thrive during uncertain times. Check it out to connect with consultants, or register your business on there to start getting leads immediately! - Alexander Steffan - Director
