Assessments and Approval Pathways

From Feasibility Assessments, all the way through to getting you across the line with your approval - Approved is here to guide you through the process and provide you with the quickest and easiest approval for your development.

Feasibility Assessments

Not sure what you can build on your land? Feasibility Assessments provide an opportunity to determine if your proposed development would be permissible on your property.

An Approved Town Planner completes an assessment of your project against the relevant provisions of the current planning framework. The assessment evaluates and identifies the potential development hazards and the planning constraints, providing you with recommendations on how you could achieve compliance specific to your site.

Preliminary Planning Assessments

Preliminary Planning Assessments are an in-depth analysis of your project completed by one of our qualified town planners; this process will determine several critical factors in your application, along with any required changes to your development.

We will be able to identify your project's permissibility, locate any potential hazards or site constraints and provide recommendations to maximise the chances of approval from a compliance point of view.

Development Application (DA) Approval Management

A Development Application is a formal application for development requiring assessment and development consent under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The NSW Government and local Councils have comprehensive and complex requirements for the lodgement of Development Applications.

Approved will assist you in preparing and submitting all necessary information, including supporting technical reports required by Council. We help you avoid costly time delays that can obstruct your development project by ensuring you get it right from the start.

Approved has been amazing for my business. They provide all the support within the reporting and council sector so I can focus on developing my business and delivering the best quality work to my clients. I trust them with all of my work and can’t recommend them higher.

Matt Turner
Director of MT Design Collective

“Undertaking a Torrens Title Subdivision for dual occupancy was relatively complicated requiring a second DA application. I was informed at every stage and had access to Sarah for any and all questions which needed to be answered. I would highly recommend this company on account of their knowledge, professional and friendly manner and the complete service offered.”
