Assessments and Approval Pathways
From Feasibility and Approval Pathway 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.
Approval Pathway Assessments
Not sure if you need approval through a Complying Development Certificate or Development Application? Approval Pathway Assessments combine the expertise of Certifiers and our Town Planners to provide an understanding of the best way forward and what will be required to obtain a fast, simple approval for your development.
After your pathway is determined, we manage the approval for you. We coordinate and lodge on your behalf, saving you time and ensuring your project gets approved the first time.
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.
Complying Development Certificate (CDC) Approval Management
A Complying Development Certificate is a combined planning and construction approval that can cover many developments depending on local planning regulations. It is often available for clients who want to build a commercial development, a new single or two-storey home, renovate an existing home, or add a granny flat, garage or swimming pool. This pathway is a fast-tracked approval that does not require a Development Application at your local council.
Approved provides a holistic service in gaining a Complying Development Certificate approval. We compare your architectural plans to NSW Government’s Housing Code criteria and submit your application to a Private Certifier who compares them with the Building Code of Australia and provides the consent to start building.
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.
Construction Certificate (CC) Application Management
Once your development is approved, a Construction Certificate is required before the commencement of building works. Approved manages this for you by liaising with a Private Certifier on your behalf.
The Certifier assesses your approval to ensure compliance with the conditions of the development consent and the Building Code of Australia and issues your Construction Certificate.
