In an ever-changing, more competitive, and less certain property development industry aup town planning reduces the risks and costs of development, and gets approvals sooner.
Prior to land purchase:
There's a lot to know and find out before even buying a property (and even if you already own a site) - where to find the right site and what to look out for? Can the site be developed? If I need a planning permit, how is it likely is it I'll get one...and how can I maximise my financial gain? Find out here how aup town planning helps developers find properties, makes sure they can be developed, lets you know whether likely to get the approvals you need, and how to maximise your financial gains.
Get approved, and start building sooner
At the end of the day, it's all about jumping through whatever hoops you need to - so you can start using or developing a property. One of these 'hoops' is the town planning system. From the start aup town planning focuses on getting all the information together to prepare and lodge a planning permit application as soon as possible, and that you get your approval as soon and for as little cost as possible. This includes post-lodgement work too.
Subdividing land
Subdivision is a special type of property 'development' which in most cases will need a planning permit.
Protect your rights and interests
Sometimes it's hard to know what you can do, and can't do with your own land, especially when some Councils regard it as their duty to regulate everything. If Council is saying you need to do, or stop doing, something, or if you get into a dispute with Council - don't just assume they're right. Always get independent advice. This includes if Council is threatening to issue you with an Enforcement Notice. We'll stand up for you and insist Council do everything by the book and your appeal rights are guaranteed.
'Non-standard' and 'affordable' housing
More and more people are choosing (or in some cases have no option but to accept) non-standard housing - e.g., 'tiny', 'modular', caravans-relocatable/moveable homes. There's also more demand for tourist and short-term accommodation like caravan parks.....and its clear there isn't enough emergency accommodation and social housing either. A lot of this housing stock 'falls between the regulatory gaps' and isn't covered by local laws, building regulations, or planning schemes. aup town planning is very interested in this area of the housing market and we've been doig a lot of work to help providers and owners/tenants.
