Local Government Regulations and Planning Law

At Conditsis Lawyers we understand both the legal planning environment and the political dynamic within which councils make decisions, exercise their functions, perform their legal rights and obligations, and deliver services to their communities.

Whether you are applying for extensions to your existing home, building a new home or objecting to a development proposed next door, the processes of Local Government planning and dealing with Councils and Neighbours can be a harrowing experience.

Whether you require legal support in preparing your application, lobbying Councillors, advice on how best to present your case or undertaking proceedings in the Land and Environment Court, we can help you.

We also have access to a highly professional network of Architects, Planners, Traffic Consultants, Engineers and other disciplines in the event you may require the assistance of such ancillary services.

We can provide local government planning legal advice in relation to:

• Representing clients for subdivision and rezoning of land;
• Successfully lobbying Council, for or against approval of developments;
• Assistance in the preparation of Development Applications; and

Conditsis Lawyers promote the use of local Council dispute resolution processes and mediation to effectively negotiate a satisfactory resolution and avoid the high costs of Court action.
