About Deep River Group
Integrated Expertise. One Vision. Real Results.
At Deep River, we bring together expertise in Surveying, Town Planning, Engineering, Project Management, Property Finance, and Investment Management to deliver high-performance property outcomes across Australia. Our approach is grounded in precision, shaped by experience, and driven by a relentless commitment to results.
We focus on what matters: understanding the site, the market, the regulations, and the risks, so our clients don’t waste time, money, or opportunity. Every service we provide is defined by clarity, quality, and a deep understanding of how to create enduring value in property.
We don’t just work in development. We live and breathe it.
Our Expertise
Town Planning
Town planning is where Deep River began. Our Managing Director built his career on value-driven planning, not box-ticking reports. We go beyond the statutory minimum, providing sharp, well-articulated planning documents that make the pathway to approval clearer, faster, and more strategic.
Our planners are client-facing, commercially minded, and deeply embedded in the planning system. We know the legislation, and we know the people who enforce it – from local councils to the NSW Department of Planning. We’ve appeared as expert witnesses in court, helped unlock rezoning potential, and navigated some of the state’s most complex planning pathways.
At Deep River, planning isn’t isolated, it’s integrated. And it shows in our results.
Our Expertise
Surveying
Surveying is the foundation of great development. At Deep River, we provide accurate, efficient, and regulation-compliant surveys that support your project's next move, from DA preparation to civil works.
Using the latest tech: GPS, 3D laser scanning, total stations we deliver everything from boundary redefinition and contour surveys to subdivision plans and construction set-out. Our team works seamlessly with planners, architects, and engineers to ensure data isn’t just accurate, it’s actionable.
Whether you’re preparing for a DA or settling a boundary dispute, our surveying team will help you start with certainty.
Our Expertise
Engineering
Our engineering team designs the infrastructure that makes developments work — roads, drainage, sewer, earthworks, and civil systems that perform under pressure.
We combine technical strength with project sensibility, delivering designs that are not just compliant but efficient and future-ready. From concept through to construction, our engineers work closely with our planners and project managers to align every design with the overall development strategy.
At Deep River, engineering isn’t an afterthought – it’s a core part of our thinking from day one.
Our Expertise
Property Development
Our first project began in the Snowy Mountains and turned a forgotten overflow carpark into a thriving tourist precinct. That same project is still held in our portfolio – and we’ve never looked back.
Since then, we’ve delivered residential subdivisions, tourist resorts, commercial precincts, and even waste infrastructure. We’ve built across cities, regions, and mountains; and we understand that great development is born of attention to detail and respect for capital.
We know every screw and bolt on-site has a purpose. We push for quality, question assumptions, and hold every part of the process to a higher standard.
