planning and environment law

Before a development can come to life, it has to survive the planning approval process – and choosing the right legal team can make or break its success. Our Planning and Environment specialists can guide you through the critical early stages of a project, paving the way to completion.

Complementing the capabilities of our Property and Construction team, our planning and environment lawyers assist New South Wales clients in navigating the complexities of the planning approval processes as they relate to commercial and government projects, from property development and infrastructure projects to corporate governance and due diligence.

Our NSW planning and environment lawyers have extensive experience in acting for property developers of all sizes, mining companies and local government authorities concerning development assessment, land contamination and compulsory acquisition matters. We understand that every project needs an advocate and our lawyers regularly appear in the Land and Environment Court of NSW in relation to development appeals, administrative law challenges and compliance issues.

Practical, responsive, and commercial – our planning and environment lawyers provide specialised advice through all stages of the project life cycle. We take your plans from paper to possible.
