We are delighted to share a recent approval for the construction of a double storey extension to a dwelling, a carport and alteration to a dwelling, and subdivision of land that realigns a boundary between two lots.

This application involved two existing lots, each containing a dwelling to be retained. The objective was to reallocate a greater portion of land to one lot, while ensuring both properties continued to comply with relevant planning controls.

At CS Town Planning, we work closely with our clients to navigate complex and unique matters, providing clear and comprehensive documentation to support a smooth and successful approval process.

This information assists Council in understanding the nature and intensity of the use and supports a robust assessment process.
