Town Planning:

Town planning controls exist to regulate how and what kind of developments are permitted in a given area. Whether the proposed developments are small scale residential projects or major infrastructure projects, laws exist to ensure that the safety and security of the local environment, communities and individuals are guaranteed. The laws relating to town planning can cross-over other areas of legal practice, such as environmental controls, compulsory acquisition, heritage conservation, crown land issues, environmental conservation, endangered or threatened species protection, biodiversity controls and compensation schemes. Services that the town planning lawyers or Development lawyers at Navado Lawyers and Solicitors can assist with include:

• Providing legal advice on Council Development Plans and Statutory controls, by-laws, easements, restrictive covenants and encumbrances;
• Drafting applications for development approval, planning permits, change of use permits, land division applications, land management controls and policies;
• Providing necessary representation in connection with development applications before Councils, statutory bodies;
• Providing legal advocacy and representation before Courts and Tribunals;
• Negotiation, mediation, conciliation, arbitration; and
• Instructing experts for the provision of expert evidence at the Land and Environment Court, District and Supreme Courts, and specialist Tribunals.
