Planning Services

Greiss Planning provides town planning services to the professionals who deliver projects across NSW — architects, builders, developers, project managers, remedial engineers and strata managers. From early feasibility through to development applications, Clause 4.6 variations, consent modifications, remedial works, rezoning and expert evidence, the focus is on clear advice, sound strategy and a practical pathway forward.

Feasibility

Planning Advice & Feasibility Assessments

Understand what may be possible before you commit time, money or design resources, with early advice on planning controls, site constraints, approval pathways and development potential.

Approvals

Development Application Management & Lodgement Support

Strategic support for preparing, coordinating and lodging development applications, including documentation, consultant inputs, council liaison and assessment responses.

Reports

Statements of Environmental Effects & Planning Reports

Clear, well-structured planning reports that explain the proposal, address relevant controls and support council’s assessment of the application.

Modifications

Development Consent Modifications & Conditions Review

Advice and documentation for modifying existing development consents, reviewing consent conditions and understanding the practical implications of an approval.

Appeals

Planning Appeals, Expert Evidence & Dispute Resolution

Independent planning advice and expert input for refused applications, disputed conditions, complex assessment issues and court-related planning matters.

Certificates

Building Information Certificate Advice & Application Support

Advice and application support for Building Information Certificate matters, including existing works, uncertain approvals, compliance issues and council correspondence.

Rezoning

Planning Proposals & Rezoning

Advice and documentation for planning proposals to amend zoning or development standards — from early feasibility and strategic justification through to council engagement and the Gateway process.

Remedial works

Strata & Remedial Works

The planning side of remedial and rectification works — approval pathways, council notices and orders, Building Information Certificates and variations for older buildings that exceed today's controls.

Variations

Clause 4.6 Variations

Written requests to vary height, floor space, lot size and other development standards — framed around the current two-part test and grounded in site-specific environmental planning grounds.

Who we work with

Greiss Planning works alongside the professionals who design, build and manage projects — handling the planning side so the rest of the team can keep moving.

How we work with your team

01

Coordination

We work directly with the architect, engineers and other consultants so the planning documents match the drawings and technical reports.

02

Controls review & mark-ups

LEP and DCP compliance tables and drawing mark-ups, so non-compliances are designed and justified early rather than discovered at assessment.

03

Portal & council management

Lodgement on the NSW Planning Portal, requests for information and correspondence with the assessing officer handled on your behalf — on fixed fees agreed before work starts.
