10 Commandments for Dealing with Councils

• ONLINE WORKSHOP 1 Formal CPD Hour 3:45 pm AEDT

Presented by Eli Gescheit

There are many unknowns associated with dealing with Councils, even for the most experienced consultant. However, throughout my career as an urban planner, I have developed these 10 Commandments for Dealing with Councils which are implemented for every project. The presentation will explore the tips and traps associated with DAs to ensure a smoother approval process for your clients.

At the end of this presentation attendees will understand:

• How to prepare a robust DA
• How to minimise delays associated with your DA
• How to apply lodging an appeal via the LEC as an approval strategy
