How we help

Our goal is to make it easier for you to deliver successful projects – whether commercial or multi-unit residential – by streamlining your interactions with us.

We provide a dedicated, single point of contact to help you navigate our processes for approvals, licenses, consents, and compliance. Our experienced case managers work alongside property owners, developers, consultants, and contractors to:

  • Coordinate with relevant Council departments.
  • Support the preparation of high-quality applications.
  • Monitor progress and keep your project on track.

Even the most experienced professionals benefit from the efficiency and insight we bring to the process.
 

What to expect

From concept to completion, your case manager will:

  • Build a strong working relationship with your team.
  • Understand your project’s unique needs and goals.
  • Act as your consistent point of contact throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Use an online system to track approvals, share updates, and manage progress.

While project compliance remains the responsibility of the owner or developer, our team ensures you have a clear understanding of what’s required and how to meet it.
 

Who benefits most

Our service is especially valuable for projects that are:

  • Complex or innovative in design or delivery.
  • Involving heritage, environmental, or planning challenges, such as contaminated land.
  • Staged or requires continued occupancy during construction.
  • Managed by clients with multiple concurrent developments.
  • High-profile, where smooth delivery is essential.
