Government Relations
Planning Workshop Australia's specialist staff have experience working in local and state government planning, and have fostered excellent working relationships with their government colleagues. The staff have led major reforms to the planning system and its legislation, and now in private practice, they specialise in advising governments on their policies, and also assisting private clients in their interactions and negotiations with government.
Planning Workshop Australia can assist local and state governments with:
- Advice on plans and policies
- Independent reviews of policies and development applications
- Facilitation of community engagement workshops
- Appeals in the Land and Environment Court
Planning Workshop Australia can assist private clients in their interactions with government by:
- Negotiating with councils and state governments agencies on planning matters
- Devising strategic paths to achieve development approvals
- Writing submissions and/or objections to councils and governments on projects and policies
- Representing, and presenting on behalf of, clients at ‘public voice’ sessions at local councils on development matters
