Streamlined Development Planning Process & Approvals

At Meliora Projects, we believe that informed planning leads to better outcomes. Whether you’re a first-time developer or an experienced consultant, understanding the full journey to development approval is key to a successful project. Our structured and educational approach is grounded in practical experience, strong regulatory knowledge, and a commitment to quality town planning advice.

A step-by-step guide to navigating development approvals with clarity and confidence

Step 1:

Initial Scoping

The process begins with a clear understanding of your project goals, timelines, and planning context. During this stage, we identify potential approval risks, relevant planning instruments, and determine the most appropriate next steps.
(Tip: Book your Initial Scoping session today to get started with expert town planning advice.)

Step 2:

Preliminary Investigations

This phase involves detailed research into site-specific planning controls, zoning, heritage overlays, environmental constraints, and approval pathways. Understanding these factors early can significantly streamline your development approval process.

Key deliverables may include:

  • Feasibility Assessment Reports
  • Planning Due Diligence Reports
  • Scoping Reports
  • Preliminary Planning Reviews

Step 3:

Strategic Project Advice & Reporting.

We provide tailored strategic advice based on the site conditions, planning framework, and development objectives. This includes recommendations on approval options (DA, CDC, BIC. etc), staging strategies, and any additional assessments—such as social impact assessments—that may be required.

Step 4:

Stakeholder Engagement

Effective engagement with local Councils, communities, and other stakeholders is often essential to gaining planning support. We facilitate early and proactive conversations to align your project with policy expectations, manage potential objections, and integrate social impact considerations where relevant.

Step 5:

Application Preparation

We prepare high-quality planning reports that support your development application and demonstrate consistency with local planning controls.

Step 6:

Application Lodgement and Tracking

Once all documentation is ready, we manage the lodgement process with the relevant Council or certifier. We’ll keep you informed at every step and coordinate responses to any requests for additional information.

Step 7:

Ongoing Support & Compliance Reviews

Our advice is accurate at the time provided, and we offer re-reviews for projects that have been on hold to account for potential regulatory changes.
