• Preparation of all planning documents for submission to Council, including full supporting reports to address planning controls and other applicable controls

We have extensive experience with the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) and can represent your interests, either acting as the advocate or as an expert witness. We also offer advice on VCAT matters including feasibility, best approach and procedural matters.
