Some recent wins with obtaining development approval for Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) change of uses from City of Joondalup, Shire of Mundaring, City of Wanneroo and City of Stirling ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅

STRA properties have become more and more contentious as land uses over recent years. However, these dwelling types are vital to the property market not only as accommodation for those travelling to our beautiful state but also those between houses or trying to break into the rental or owner occupier markets and need a short-term rental.

If you or someone you know have a STRA property that you need to obtain approval for don't hesitate to get in touch with JPA Planning.

Another great approval, in a timely fashion, for a happy client ✅ ✅ ✅

JPA Planning recently obtained approval for residential additions for a client in Geraldton. The additions, that did seek variations to setbacks, were appropriately justified along with neighbour consent on the variations sought being provided to the City of Greater Geraldton, and thus ultimately resulted in a speedy approval after just 2 weeks.

The client is ecstatic with the quick turnaround and clear and concise services provided, and so are we 🙌
