Let us do the heavy lifting
Seamless Council Approvals
We work closely with assessment and referral authorities to expedite the approval process and secure the best outcomes for our clients. By leveraging our deep understanding of local planning schemes, we can navigate even the most complex cases, giving you confidence in achieving timely approvals.
Material Change of Use (MCU)
Approval is needed for significant changes in property use, as determined by the Planning Scheme’s assessment level, which could be either code or impact assessment. Code assessment checks compliance with specific codes, while impact assessment requires a more comprehensive evaluation of the entire planning scheme and requires public notification. MCU applications generally include detailed site plans, a planning report, and specialist reports. Ensuring complete and accurate documentation helps expedite approval and meets all council requirements.
Reconfiguring a Lot (ROL)
Reconfiguring a lot, whether it’s subdividing land, realigning boundaries, or creating access easements, requires careful adherence to local planning regulations. Our expert team will guide you through the entire process, starting with a detailed site analysis and pre-lodgement consultation with council. We manage the preparation of all necessary documents, including survey plans, engineering reports, and impact assessments, ensuring compliance with the Planning Scheme and Planning Act 2016. Understanding and navigating these steps is crucial to achieving a successful outcome.
Change Applications
Change applications are used to modify existing development approvals and are categorized into two types: minor changes and other changes. A minor change involves adjustments that do not substantially alter the approved development, while an “other” change may significantly impact the development’s nature or scale. Documentation typically includes revised plans, updated reports, and a justification statement. Understanding the specific requirements for each type of change is crucial for a successful application.
