Gibbs Planning & Development offers accurate electronic mapping and draughting services in direct support of all town planning and development applications across South Africa. Using AutoCAD, coordinates are entered from approved Surveyor-General diagrams — including individual diagrams and General Plans — to create precise draft base mapping that forms the spatial foundation for all planning submissions and development proposals.
From this base mapping, GP&D generates a full range of planning map outputs including concept designs, zoning maps, land use maps and layout plans. These professionally produced drawings are essential components of rezoning applications, township establishment submissions, subdivision applications and site development plans — ensuring that every planning document submitted to municipalities in Gauteng and across South Africa meets the required technical and visual standards.
Accurate, professionally produced planning maps and drawings are a non-negotiable requirement for any successful town planning application. GP&D’s in-house electronic mapping capability ensures all spatial documentation is technically precise, municipally compliant and ready for submission reducing delays and strengthening every planning application
