Step-by-Step to Development Approval in Parramatta

Here’s how our planners simplify your development planning & approval process:

  • Preliminary Planning Analysis – We begin by identifying the site’s zoning, land constraints, and applicable planning controls under the Parramatta Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP).

     

  • Pre-Lodgement Discussions – Our team engages with Parramatta City Council to confirm documentation requirements, discuss design considerations, and address potential issues early in the process.

     

  • Preparation of Planning Documentation – We prepare comprehensive planning reports, including the Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE), planning justifications, and any required technical studies to support your application.

     

  • Lodgement and Council Review – Meliora Projects coordinates the submission through the NSW Planning Portal, manages referrals, and responds promptly to council feedback or requests for additional information.

     

  • Determination and Follow-Up – Once assessed, we assist in addressing any conditions of consent and guide you through the post-approval implementation phase.

     

Each stage is designed to deliver a well-considered, compliant outcome that reflects Parramatta’s planning priorities, community expectations, and development standards.
