Benefits of development advice
Upfront advice can save you time. By seeking advice in the early stages of a proposal, you can ensure you address all identified development issues. This can improve the quality of your application. It can also streamline assessment timeframes and reduce costs.
Development advice can help you understand what supporting information you may need to provide. We can also explain the process and clarify timeframes.
As part of this service we can identify specific technical issues, and relevant legislative and planning scheme requirements.
