Find out how we can help you
Outlook Planning and Development provides town planning advice and support for all types of development. Some of our services include the following:
Statement of environmental effects are required for all development applications. This is a document that is the backbone of a development application and provides details of zoning, permissibility and provides justification for any DCP non compliance. A good Statement of Environmental Effects can be the difference between approval and refusal.
The Local Environmental Plan provides clauses that allow and restrict development. The LEP is used by Council to implement height limits, minimum lot sizes and floor space ratios for developments. These restrictions are legislative and in order to seek a variation a special document is required called a Clause 4.6 Variation to Development Standard report. We have a proven track record in providing expert quality Variation reports.
We assist our clients by writing development objection letters for development applications. We provide highly detailed objection letters and have had a lot of experience in achieving better outcomes for our clients through our objection letters.
We assist our clients by handling the whole development application process for them. We seek quotes for all consultants including architects, surveyors, engineers etc and manage them throughout the process. We package the whole application and submit to Council as the Applicant. We manage all correspondence with Council and address any additional information requests.
Change of use applications are one of the enquiries we receive the most from new clients wanting to start a new business.
