Owners and designers with a DA package nearly ready to lodge who want it checked by a planner before it goes on the NSW Planning Portal.
A completeness check of your Development Application (DA) package against the council's lodgement checklist before you lodge, with a gap register and letter of advice. Incomplete applications get bounced at lodgement or stall in assessment with requests for information; this review catches the gaps while they are still quick to fix.
Missing documents, wrong document types, and inconsistencies between plans and reports. Councils apply the checklist strictly, and a bounce costs weeks before assessment even begins.
The review identifies them; fixing them is separate. Some you can resolve yourself, some sit with your designer, and some need a consultant — the gap register says which.
It removes the self-inflicted delays. Assessment speed then depends on council workload and the merits of the proposal, which no review can control.
This service checks completeness and consistency. A merits review of the architectural package or consultant reports is available as a separate peer review service.
Priced for a single dwelling DA. Multi-dwelling and mixed-use packages carry much longer checklists and are quoted separately.
