Every development project can encounter obstacles

Regardless of the project size, developers often face a range of obstacles throughout the approval process. Some common challenges can include:

• ‍Council delays: Lengthy approval times from councils can push back timelines, impacting budgets. ‍
• Construction deadlines: Tight schedules can often be disrupted by unforeseen issues during the approval process.‍
• Changing regulations: Staying up to date with evolving local and state planning regulations can be challenging.‍
• Expertise required: Developers need professionals, like our team of town planners, who understand the intricacies of the approval process and can help them manage compliance, design changes and more.

At any point, a straightforward project can turn complex. Having a team of experts on your side who provide tailored solutions helps developers overcome these hurdles smoothly.

Our expertise ensures your application is fully prepared for council lodgement, identifying what’s required early on to give your project the best chance of approval. We stay up to date on industry legislation, so you don’t have to, ensuring your project is always compliant.

Our team goes beyond just solving problems, we manage expectations throughout the process by keeping developers informed of key milestones and potential issues, ensuring complete transparency at every stage.

This means fewer surprises and a smoother path to completion.

Tackling heritage constraints with innovative solutions

A prime example of our approach can be seen in a recent commercial redevelopment project for one of our clients in Hamilton, Newcastle.

The site had a heritage-listed item located in a heritage conservation area, which required careful preservation while transforming the space into a modern café. Its residential location and heritage status added complexity to the approval process, but we successfully managed these challenges to bring the project to life.

Our team were able to work closely with the architect, developer and local council to secure approval, allowing the new development to move forward while retaining the heritage structure.

This balance between preservation and innovation is what sets us apart when it comes to the approval process on complex projects like this.

Tailored solutions for every developer

Our process is designed to adapt to any project, ensuring a customised approach that fits each developer’s unique needs.

For example, we were able to streamline a knock-down rebuild project for a client in Kotara through our strong relationships with local councils.

By leveraging these relationships, we expedited the approval process, helping the developer avoid delays and get the project moving quickly.
