How we can help
The success of any development project depends on strong planning and environmental foundations. Securing them requires technical precision, regulatory fluency and a clear understanding of commercial objectives.
We provide integrated advice throughout the lifecycle of development projects, from strategic land use planning, due diligence and early feasibility through to delivery and dispute resolution.
We act for major developers, government agencies and institutional investors across all asset classes, including residential (infill and greenfield), hotels, commercial, mixed-use, industrial, education and large-scale infrastructure projects.
Our experience spans both advisory and contentious matters, including complex planning and environment litigation relating to development approvals, rezoning, contamination, compulsory land acquisition and land valuation appeals.
We guide clients through planning and development applications, advising on cultural heritage, environmental constraints, regulatory compliance obligations that can affect project outcomes. We also provide due diligence support for large-scale property and corporate transactions, including infrastructure charges and development contributions, contaminated land, liquor licensing and gaming, heritage and biodiversity matters.
