Strategic and tailored town and planning advice
Emerge Planning and Development offer a core range of services across both commercial and residential projects, from new houses, extensions and subdivisions through to multiple dwellings and industrial and commercial development approvals. We service both the public and private sector from initial advice through to the completion of development proposals.
Preliminary advice and due diligence
Preliminary advice and due diligence is a vital initial component of any potential project. It involves investigating the potential opportunities and constraints associated with the proposed development. We do this by conducting thorough research and extensive consultations with the relevant parties. The findings of this research will determine whether the development application should proceed, what alternative steps need to be taken to reach a successful outcome, or whether the project should not proceed at all.
Our intricate working knowledge of the planning system means we can identify ways to benefit our clients and their development projects. In many cases, we can avoid an application process entirely – saving our clients thousands.
Due Diligence Services Include:
- Establishing development potential if buying or selling
- Key issue identification in major project developments – constraints and planning potential
- Site and risk analysis
