Successful Objections with Urban Strategies The experience and expertise you need
Objections are now referred to as submissions under the development assessment system.
Submissions can be lodged to development applications and to draft plans and are accorded certain rights under the Queensland system. Urban Strategies has in-depth knowledge both of the relevant legislation governing submissions and of internal Council processes. This combination ensures that with Urban Strategies your voice is given the best chance of influencing the outcome of a development application decision or new planning policy.
Submissions may be positive as well as negative and can add value to a project in the form of improved community outcomes or better design. Ensure that your voice is heard with a professionally drafted submission focussing on core planning issues.
