We work closely with clients in Warners Bay, Belmont, Morisset, Charlestown, Toronto, Cameron Park, Swansea, Cardiff, Edgeworth and surrounding suburbs.

Whether you’re building a new home, adding a secondary dwelling, proposing a dual occupancy or undertaking a commercial fit-out, we’ll make sure your application meets all relevant planning controls under the Lake Macquarie LEP and DCP.

Our team is experienced in addressing local zoning requirements, building envelopes, environmental constraints, bushfire and flood overlays and heritage considerations.
