She specialises in coordinating the final stages of development approvals, ensuring all conditions have been satisfied before preparing and lodging plan sealing applications with Council and coordinating documentation for registration with Titles Queensland. Before establishing Plan Sealing QLD, Lisa spent five years working within the town planning department of a large Queensland consultancy company, where she gained practical, hands-on experience managing subdivision approvals from commencement through to completion. Recognising a gap in the industry for a dedicated plan sealing specialist, she founded Plan Sealing QLD to provide developers and consultants with a streamlined, efficient service that reduces delays and allows project teams to focus on their core expertise. Today, Lisa works with developers, surveyors, town planners, engineers, solicitors, and property owners across Queensland, providing expert guidance through what is often one of the most complex and document-intensive stages of the development process.
