1. Site Assessments
We have assessed hundreds and hundreds of potential development sites across Victoria for dual occupancy, townhouse or apartment developments We negotiate with most of the Melbourne Councils on a regular basis and familiar with Councils' ever evolving planning policies.Planning knowledge guarantee Planning Permit success.
2. Council officer rapport
Through the hundreds of Town Planning Applications across Greater Melbourne Councils, we have built up a great relationship with Planning Officers.We have been instrumental in obtaining hundreds of Planning Permits for dual occupancy and multi- unit developments. It's the old saying- it's not only what you know that matters but whom you know that delivers Planning Permit Winners.
3. Exemplary design delivery
We expertly deliver real time design or town planning solutions on the run at critical Council meetings and do not usually need to go back to the office to research and lose days responding to a tricky question a Planning Officer might ask on the spot on a dual occupancy Planning Permit application. Time is critical in keeping up the interest in a Planning Officer who may jump on to a different Application if they have to wait for answers. A typical Planning Officer at Council could be managing up to forty different Planning Permit Applications at any given time. This where knowledge becomes the power to succeed.
4. Negotiate with other Statutory Authorities
We have successfully negotiated with the other authorities who are equally powerful when it comes to obtaining a Planning Permit or a Planning Refusal for a dual occupancy or residential development. Negotiating successfully with the key authorities who control the roads like Vic Road whether iyou recieve a Planning Permit or not. In recent VCAT matters the CFA agreed to a plan they were resisting for approval. The same applied to VicRoads and Melbourne Water where only their support would result in a Planning Approval. In a few applications we successfully negotiated a narrower width of an easement where Melbourne Water demanded very wide easements.
5. Teamwork for project completion
We have considerable experience working with the other professionals who will come together to deliver your project. Professionals like architects or designers, engineers from the structural, civil (drainage), hydraulics, acoustics, traffic or fire disciplines or land surveyors and building surveyor to name a few category of experts one will need to deal with to complete a dual occupancy or residential property development.
6. Property development experience
We understand finance and development feasibility which will determine if you will make a profit or not.We have put our money where our mouth is and developed a property taking all the risks you are about to encounter in your dual occupancy development. Beware of armchair academics. In our first dual occupancy project we presented to a full Council meeting to obtain a Planning Permit against the wishes of the objectors.
7. VCAT appearance
We have appealed challenging refusals or appeals by objectors at the VCAT. If youur designer can't successfully win at the VCAT they might not understand case law and precedents set at VCAT. Very often Council Planning Managers will rely on that type of information when deciding whether to grant a Planning Permit or not.
8. Integrity
And finally the most critical element we openly offer are the matters of honesty, integrity, credibility, professionalism, ethics, being equitable and passionate. We will tell you what chance of success your project will be upfront, because we will do the hard work personally to obtain a Planning Permit.
Our Promise
We will stick with you from the first time we meet and do our utmost to make your Town Planning Application successful so that you can go on to obtain the Building Permit and build your dream property development. We can be there from cradle to completion.
