Not-for-profit: Planning and Environment

Our experienced team is here to assist with all aspects of planning and environment law affecting your not-for-profit business. Our work ranges from appealing decisions of regulatory authorities, interpreting planning legislation and planning instruments, drafting planning agreements, and representing clients in the Land and Environment Court of NSW in merit and judicial review matters, civil enforcement and prosecution proceedings.

We provide environmental law services in NSW including advice about clearing, threatened species issues, biodiversity certification and conservation. We assist with contaminated land, heritage issues and environment protection licensing, clean-up and prevention notices under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997. We also act in environment and planning prosecutions (whether our client is being prosecuted or bringing a prosecution).

Development applications

Development applications and appeals can be costly and time-consuming, and the last thing your not-for-profit business needs. Whether you need to submit a development application or are appealing a decision made by a regulatory authority in respect of your development application, our experienced and passionate Planning and Environment lawyers can assist.

We can provide advice on the permissibility and characterisation of your proposed development and guide you through the development assessment process. If you already have a development consent, we can provide you with advice about lapsing, conditions and modifications. We can also represent your business in the Land and Environment Court of NSW, should you need to appeal the decision of a regulatory authority about your development application or consent.
