Owners and developers who want a clear planning strategy and risk assessment before investing in design or lodging a DA.
A strategic planning assessment prepared before design is finalised or a DA is lodged. We review the site's zoning, planning controls and constraints, identify the most appropriate approval pathway, and flag key risks and opportunities early. The report sets out a clear strategy, the specialist reports likely to be required, and practical recommendations to guide your design team, reducing the risk of costly redesigns, RFIs or refusal.
