Development Applications

Comprehensive Solutions, Expert Management
Our approach to Development Applications goes beyond basic compliance. We identify constraints required to be addressed in order to appropriately address any matter to ensure a thorough application is drafted for assessment at the Federal, State and Local government levels.

Partnering with specialist expertise to address constraints and statutory requirements, such as Ecological, Engineering, Flood risk, Bushfire risk, Traffic Engineering, Architectural and Landscape intents and plans.

We excel in managing concurrent and referral application requirements necessary for any particular development, such as water and sewer applications, vehicle cross overs and electrical requirements. Our established relationships with State Agencies and referral authorities ensure your application moves efficiently through the assessment process.

Consent / Approvals Management

Protecting Your Interests
Our involvement doesn’t end with lodgement. We actively review draft conditions to protect you from unexpected costs or onerous requirements. This proactive approach ensures your approval aligns with your development objectives and budget constraints. When approval is granted, we provide clear guidance on next steps and seamlessly transition into post-DA requirements, including Construction Certificates, Subdivision Works Certificates, and Operational Works applications.
