The Process

Site Inspection, Planning Review & Report Preparation

Our team will kickstart the process by gaining a deeper understanding of your site and preliminary plans. We’ll then provide feedback to the project team and write your Planning Report to accompany your permit application.

    Application Lodgment, Assessment & Feedback

    We’ll lodge your permit application on your behalf and typically receive preliminary feedback within 28 days. We'll work with the project team and the Responsible Authority to see the application progress to public notice (advertising) without delay - where notice is required.

      Final Assessment & Review of Decision

      Once the public notice period has concluded, our team will provide feedback received by interested parties. We’ll then take any necessary steps required to help you reach the point of a favourable decision. We'll take the time to talk you through all relevant Conditions of Approval.
