Brookdale contractors Access
RFF was appointed to assist in overall approvals for logistics operations, which included formalising legal rights of access, using the existing driveway and crossover from the Highway.
CROWN LAND MATTERS
Most of the Pilbara and Kimberley remains under the ultimate control of the State Government. It is Crown Land and it’s everywhere.
Regional Town Planning Specialists
While town planning processes are fairly straightforward in Perth, regional planning can become far more complex.
As we know the lay of the land, we can provide you with honest advice to ensure you understand the feasibility of your project and the challenges you may experience.
Our team will always provide you with the level of support you need, with the ability to manage everything for you up north North while you take care of business back in Perth.
How We Can Help
You can rely on us to get the best possible outcome for your project, ensuring the approvals you are granted are commercially viable. Depending on your needs, we can provide you with a range of regional and town planning services.
Site Acquisition Due Diligence
Before you purchase a property, we can complete a thorough site due diligence evaluation to confirm the site can support your planned development. Our assessment will outline the potential risks and associated costs for securing approvals.
Scheme Amendments
At times it may be necessary to make changes to the local planning scheme to meet the outcomes of your proposal. We understand what’s required and how to get the right town planning framework for your project.
Crown Land Matters
As a lot of the work we do takes place on Crown land, we have experience dealing with land amalgamations, licenses, lease renewals, development leases and other matters.
Structure Planning and Subdivision Design
We work with some of the most experienced and highly skilled urban designers in WA, with the capability to complete small scale two-lot subdivisions through to large scale, multi-stage master planned communities.
Liquor Licensing
We can prepare submissions for new venues and update existing liquor licenses. As our team has previously owned and operated a small bar, we are familiar with the expectations of liquor licensing and how to limit the conditions imposed on your business.
Retrospective Approvals
In some situations, approvals may need to be secured after a project has commenced or even upon completion. We can help you find a solution that works for all parties, without the need to enter a courtroom.
Advocacy and Policy Submissions
We aren’t afraid to take on a challenge at RFF Australia. Our team can build a strong case based on data and research to justify policy changes that will lead to improved outcomes for regional communities and businesses
Development Approvals
Our team has a proven track record for securing a range of local and state government approvals, from small building projects to major commercial and industrial developments.
Policy Development
Our team has worked closely with local and state governments to undertake the required research, community and industry engagement to formulate effective policies that can deliver on regional community objectives.
Pastoral Diversification Permits
Extensive documentation and justification can be required to support diversification permits for pastoral leases, as well as additional environment and local government approvals. We can coordinate a solution that manages all permits and approvals for you.
