Local Government & Planning

There is some complexity to planning law and local government law, and getting it right the first time will save you. If you are considering a development, consult both Law Corp and your specialist advisers before you lodge an application or appeal. Law Corp can advise on:

• Objection to prescribed development standards (such as set-back requirements, height restrictions and minimum area requirements)
• Subdivisions and consolidations
• Re-zoning applications
• Development applications
• Third-party objections
• Strata title subdivisions
• Community title subdivisions
• Drafting public positive covenants as may be required by council
• Development agreements
• Council conditions
• Appeals
• Conditions of consent
• Staged development
• Existing use
• Modification applications
• Local government appeals and litigations, including:
  • All manner of appeals
  • Freedom of Information requests
• Applications for declarations, injunctions or compensation for failure or delay
