Alterations & Additions

NSW

Many clients come to us for help when they decide to make changes to their property or undertake a renovation. Every property is different and there are many elements to consider, depending on your Local Government Area and where your property is situated.

Our planners are experts at investigating what can and can’t be done, helping you to achieve the best possible outcome when it comes to your renovation.

For this project below we managed both the town planning and design services for our client, streamlining the council approval process and maximising efficiencies along the way.

The Brief

Located in a beautiful leafy suburb in New South Wales’ Blue Mountains, the project involved a considerable extension that would provide a haven for a family that had outgrown the existing dwelling.

The brief from the client was to create a light filled home, allowing for open plan living, where the kitchen and living area could be the heart of the home. The owners also didn’t want to compromise the existing traditional cottage on site.

By using our design services, the town planner and Architect were able to work together in maximising the scope and design, with no need for changes further down the track.

The Solution

Our design team crafted the perfect balance between old and new.

High ceilings and floor to ceiling windows were used to bring in warm natural light. While the open plan living created an expansive space for our clients to live and entertain all year round.

The extension flows seamlessly from the cottage onto a garden that links the house together, an oasis between old and new, the past and future.

DECK & PERGOLA "We reached out to Council Approval Group to get help on an application for work we want done in our backyard. Essentially we wanted a ‘one stop shop’ to take care of the council approval process from start to finish. The end-to-end process dealing with Council Approval Group was fantastic. I found Lauren and the team at Council Approval Group to be extremely personable, thorough and professional throughout this process and demonstrated commitment to achieving the best possible outcome on our application. Highly recommend Council Approval Group and definitely worth paying that little bit more for." -Kasey Graham

EXTENSION "We were referred to Council Approval from a friend and we were very happy with the result. They prepared a pre-planning assessment report for us before we submitted our DA to council and I have no doubt that report helped us get a speedy approval from council for our build. 100% worth the investment! Colin is a true professional, very passionate about what he does and is incredibly knowledgeable." -Trudy Gilbert
