1. Initial Contact
Every project begins with a conversation. During our first chat, we take the time to understand your site, your goals, and your development vision. This is where we step in beside you — helping shape the possibilities and laying the foundation for a clear pathway forward.
2. Preliminary Planning Advice
Next, we prepare tailored preliminary planning advice so you know exactly what’s achievable. We review your site’s environmental constraints, zoning and permissibility, development options, and any subconsultant reports required. This step ensures you have clarity and confidence before moving ahead.
3. Development Application Preparation & Lodgement
We coordinate the entire DA process — managing subconsultants, preparing a clear and comprehensive Statement of Environmental Effects, and lodging your application through the NSW Planning Portal. Our goal is to make the process streamlined and stress-free, guiding you every step of the way.
4. Application Assessment
Once lodged, your application is assessed by Council’s Planning Department. We stay actively involved — responding to any requests for further information, clarifying details, and ensuring your application continues moving forward.
5. Approval
When your application is approved, we celebrate that milestone with you. You’re now ready to begin the Construction Certificate process and take the next step toward bringing your project to life. We remain available to support you through the transition from approval to construction.
Next Steps
It’s our mission to make planning simpler, clearer, and less overwhelming for everyday developers. If you’re unsure how to start your project, we’re here to guide you. Get in touch with Katrina today, and she will help you navigate the development approval pathway.
