Statement of Environmental Effects

We provide specialist development application services including the preparation of your Statement of Environmental Effects that are prepared in accordance with the EP&A Act and Regulations by leading Sydney Town Planners with extensive local government experience.

Pre-design Planning Controls Advisory

We work with your team of architects, building designers and project managers to review the relevant town planning controls and provide property development advice to minimise non-compliance and maximise your chance of gaining successful approval.

DA Lodgement and Management Services

Our team of Sydney Town Planning experts can manage the documentation and lodgement of your Development Application to ensure that it meets Council’s requirements and is assessed without unnecessary and costly delays.

Clause 4.6 Variations Support

Some property development sites can be complicated, where a project cannot achieve full compliance. If your property project does not comply with the Local Environmental Plan, you will need a Clause 4.6 Variation. Do not expose your project to unnecessary risk! We have extensive experience in successfully arguing the merits of non-compliances in accordance with legislation and relevant case law.
