other ways we can we help your Council?

Staff Leave

We can provide short, medium or long term relief for staff leave or sickness in your office. This can be in your office or from ours. We can deliver your obligations for assessment and processing of applications for simple or complex development approvals, planning scheme amendments across all statutory and strategic functions of the planning authority.

Peer review

We have extensive experience in the compilation and review of complex proposals and assessment documentation for planning applications and amendments. This includes the compilation of planning schemes and development proposals, their proof reading and checking to ensure compliance with statutory requirements and/or decisions.

Peer review and editing services can be provided for your documents before they enter public domains to improve the consistency and quality of your professional officers work.

Application processing

We can easily assist with application processing. We have a wide range of knowledge on processes and systems for assessing and managing planning applications for permit approvals, planning scheme amendments and the implementation of multiple new planning schemes.

We are also able to review your processes and systems for compliance with industry standards and the requirements of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993. We can also provide advice on how other statutory requirements can be implemented with your planning processes to improve your customer service and satisfaction. This can improve the way that you deal with other relevant matters such as landslide, public open space, subdivision approvals and even services and infrastructure considerations.
