Concordia Pacific can help you to obtain development consent for your building project quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
Whether you are planning alterations and additions to your existing house, a new family home, a dual occupancy development, town houses, or villas, or whether you are considering larger-scale work such as a child care centre, a block of flats, housing for over-55s, or a commercial building, Concordia Pacific can successfully guide your development application through the assessment process both before local councils and through the appeals process before the Land and Environment Court.
Concordia Pacific provides a complete range of advisory services in relation to development proposals, including:
- Front-end guidance concerning local planning controls, to enable you to determine whether the project that you are planning is likely to receive development consent.
- Advice concerning amendments that can be made to your plans to respond to objections raised by council planning officers and to submissions made to council by resident-objectors.
- Acting as your advocate with Council planning officers and Council planning committees to ensure that government decision makers have a complete understanding of your development application and the reasons that it should be approved.
- Assisting you to seek review of Council determinations refusing your application through the informal appeal process under section 82A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act.
- Handling appeals against the “deemed” refusal of development applications before the Land and Environment Court when councils have failed to determine the application in a timely manner.
- Litigating appeals against the “actual” refusal of development applications where councils have formally given notice of their decision not to approve the application in a written “Notice of Determination” (“class 1 planning appeals”).
