A Development Application is just the beginning

Not all property developments require a development application – but that is a decision for the experts!  When seeking approval and permission from your local council, it is always best to consult with an expert.  For the best possible chance of success, call us at Planning Insights.  We specialise in making the process of submitting a development application to Brisbane City Council as painless as possible.  Some people find the application process difficult and frustrating.  However, we ensure we are expert on all levels of the legislation.  Let us help to de-mystify the property development application process, because we can lead you through from start to finish.

Material Change of Land Use

Here is a little-known gem that we like to assist our clients with!  Often our clients are required to submit a development application to carry out a Material Change of Land Use.  This can be a trap for some property developers who overlook this step.  This ovesight can really slow the property development project.  Here at Planning Insights, we have a streamlined process for managing development applications for material change of use for a property. Most significantly, we can make your life much easier!

Extension of Development Approval

Don’t overlook the possibility of gaining an extension for a previous development approval.  If you or a previous owner went to all the trouble with a development application to achieve approval for a development, then it doesn’t need to go to waste.  It is often possible to achieve an extension for development approval, with an appropriate development application with Brisbane City Council.

Modification to existing Development Approval

Likewise, many people find that they wish to modify a property development after development approval.  Don’t make a mistake and overlook the requirement to lodge the modification of the development applications with the Council.  Let our team of Town Planning Consultants manage the modification process on your behalf, and avoid any costly delays.

Staged approvals

One of the best ways to ensure the success as of a project is to achieve staged approvals.  As each phase of a project comes to fruition, it may be necessary to return to the council planning process with an update as to the development of the project.  Staged approvals work well for both client and council.  This is because they provide a series of project management review gates that keep both parties up to date with progress.  Here at Planning Insights, we offer a complete service from inception through to final approval.  This includes as many approvals as necessary to get your project to the completion stage.

Interpretation

Having submitted the property development application, we also work with our clients to provide advice and interpretation on the conditions.  Often, the local council will approve a property proposal with a range of conditions that must be complied with.  If design approvals, or engineering plans, or environmental conditions are required, then it is important to meet these conditions.  Failure to do so may cause planning permissions to be withdrawn.  Hence it is important to seek advice along the way, and to ensure compliance.
