LOCAL GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS

Let’s face it, obtaining planning approval through the local government can be a difficult and frustrating process, with impacts to both budgets and finances resulting from additional time, cost and design requirements. Most developments require Planning Approval from the local government, including businesses looking to relocate or expand to another premises.

Leverage our expertise and approach in navigating the regulatory landscape to ensure your project is streamlined through the approvals process and complies with the relevant zoning laws and regulations.

Planning applications are required to sufficiently address the proposed land use, activities (including onsite and offsite impacts) and include a set of development site plans, floor plans and elevations which can be prepared inhouse or in consultation with your architect or designer.

Local governments have a statutory timeframe of 60 days (no advertising) or 90 days (advertised) to determine a development application, unless agreed to in writing with the applicant.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT COMPLAINCE – RETROSPECTIVE DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL

We understand that it’s not clear what requires planning consent and mistakes occur from time to time.

If you’ve received a dreaded Directions Notice from a local government requiring planning approval for changes made onsite (or would like to avoid this from occurring) contact Land Planning Consultants as soon as possible for an obligation free discussion.

We can assist you with achieving peace of mind by resolving planning compliance matters such as unapproved structures, civil works and unlawful land uses.
