We offer a full suite of ‘front-end’ planning services to shepherd you through the IDAS process.

Whether it’s a small subdivision or an industrial estate we can help speed the development process by a focused approach to development milestones.

Our experience allows us to anticipate local authority information requirements in many legal cases.

We recommend consultants who can address the particular local authority requirements of the proposed development.

And that includes ‘koala protection’.

Many planning disputes are about conditions and we’ve all seen good developments ruined by unrealistic conditions.

We adopt a holistic approach to development applications that incorporates flexibility and agility in negotiating development conditions.

Don’t worry. We can see the wood over the top of the trees.

Sometimes its important to appreciate the Council’s viewpoint.

We understand that the Council cares about landscaping but we also understand that your holding costs are much more important to you than a few potted palms.

Of course if an appeal is lodged- all bets are off.

We leverage off our considerable civil litigation experience to drive the appeal process forward to either determination or settlement.

We have substantial experience in planning litigation including submiter appeals and conditions appeals to the planning and environment court.

If you’re going to go to court-go there with people who know what their doing.
