Frequently, developers with major sites will prepare a strategy or concept plan for proposed development and test the water with council prior to formalising the Development Application. This strategic process requires a detailed site analysis and a thorough review of the relevant planning documents. Often, we prepare Pre-Application Reports and Planning Proposals for such developments, to present to Council or the Department of Planning.

​We are also engaged by council to undertake strategic plans for Local Government Areas (LGA) prior to the preparation of a Local Environmental Plan. Alongside this, we have prepared a range of Development Control Plans (DCPs) for various LGAs. Examples of these types of plans and documents include:

• The Tweed 2000 Strategic Plan
• Burwood Town Centre Strategy
• Moree Town Centre Strategy
• Maitland City Wide DCP – Part E (Morpeth Heritage Conservation Area
• The Lower Hunter Urban Housing DCP
• The Parramatta Medium Density DCP
• The Marrickville Shopping Centre DCP
• The Tweed Residential DCP
• The Prince Henry DCP
• The Yatala Business Centre DCP
