Planning and Environment Lawyers

We guide developers, landowners, and public bodies through NSW's planning and environmental laws - helping projects move forward smoothly and compliantly.

Navigating NSW's planning and environmental regulations requires specialist knowledge and a clear understanding of the processes involved. Our experienced planning and environment lawyers advise developers, landowners, and public authorities on planning proposals, development applications, environmental impact assessments, and compliance matters.

We have a strong track record working with local council procedures, the NSW Planning Portal, and the requirements of the Land and Environment Court. Our services include preparing and reviewing documentation, conducting environmental compliance audits, and representing clients in appeals or disputes involving planning and environmental decisions.

Our approach is pragmatic and results-focused, aligning complex policy requirements with your project's objectives to minimise delays, manage risks, and ensure regulatory compliance. Whether you're pursuing a new development, seeking approval for a proposal, or addressing environmental obligations, we deliver tailored strategies that keep your goals on track.
