We work with residential, commercial and mixed-use developments across Ryde, Eastwood, Gladesville, Macquarie Park, Meadowbank, North Ryde, West Ryde, Denistone and surrounding suburbs.

We specialise in Development Applications (DAs), Statements of Environmental Effects, Clause 4.6 variation requests and Section 4.55 modification applications.

The City of Ryde presents a mix of planning challenges such as flood-affected sites, heritage conservation areas, bushfire risk, Foreshore Building Lines and varying development zones.

Our team has secured approvals for shop conversions in Gladesville, boarding houses in West Ryde and dual occupancies in North Ryde. We know how to present strong planning justifications to support proposals that require flexibility or minor variations.

We also offer in-house architectural drafting, giving you a one-stop service for plans and documentation. This helps streamline the process and reduces the chance of delays or requests for additional information from Council.

Whether you’re lodging a new DA, responding to feedback, or looking to modify an existing approval, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
