STRONG TRACK RECORD IN SUPPORTING LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Our long involvement in providing assistance to local government has given us a sound understanding of the key drivers for councils in conducting their operations to serve their communities.
We understand the legislative and administrative legal framework within which local councils operate and we are highly experienced in advising local government clients on associated issues.
We have extensive experience advising on all aspects of environmental planning matters ranging from the processes involved in the making, consideration and determination of development applications to representation of local government in the Land and Environment Court.
We deliver legal services to fourteen councils located in the central west and southern regions of New South Wales. We have also provided advice to the Planning Institute of Australia and the Australian Local Government Association.
Our advice is informed by a strong appreciation of the objectives, needs and concerns of local government.
