A change of use application with council can make you feel overwhelmed or drowning in endless paperwork and compliance. You’re not alone…
If you are not a town planner, dealing with Council can be a nightmare, not to mention very expensive in both time and money. Plus, we’re pretty sure, you have better things to do.
Getting the right advice on your change of use application is important so that you can get up and running as soon as possible.
That’s where we fit. It’s what we do, all day, everyday. With a team of 10+ highly knowledgeable town planners and property consultants, with more than 387 years of town planning experience, we’re pretty good at what we do. To help streamline projects we also support our clients with the help of our in house architect and draftsman.
“We received our DA approval within 3 months, just like what they have communicated at the start of the process. It is a great pleasure to work with the team. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is applying for a DA.”
” I like it because I don’t have to do anything… The team at the Council Approval Group knows what they do. Good job guys.”
” We needed a town planner as a matter of urgency in order to equip us to confidently bid on a property at auction. I engaged them and received a thorough assessment within 2 days! I was very grateful for their honest approach.”
” From our first phone call we gained a sense of confidence… This was our first development and they coached us through the whole process… Even though we are beginners they communicated to us in a respectful and informative way. We would recommend their services.”
“They had the skills, knowledge and experience to get a better outcome than I had hoped for. I would recommend them for any development application whether the project is straightforward or more complicated.”
To get that success rate it has only come after helping over 12,000 people. We’ve worked hard to smooth out all the kinks before they appear by carrying out this Preliminary Planning Assessment (PPA) on your property. It works a treat, especially for what it can do for you, the journey of the project and its future.

We could make up a fantasied timeframe to wow you, but to be straight up the length of getting an approval is dependent on the project development type, the local council, who examines your application within council, location of the property within the local council and on the property itself, and the list goes on. The approval process will no doubt take longer than you expect because we are dealing with administrative red tape.
But what our team has done has studied the 12,000+ applications we have been involved in and analysed the 300+ flight years of team council approval experience to create a formidable system.
So to answer the question, how long does it take for us to get council approval? The fastest in our industry.
We have over 20 team members lead by our founder Max Fragar with his 50 consecutive years of town planning and council approval knowledge. The team is made up of skilled town planners, property consultants and designers that we have hand picked to work on your project. It turns out that we’ve had over 300 collective years of experience working and dealing with local government councils.
What does this mean for you? One word, streamline. We know how to talk the council lingo, can perceive even predict the ins and outs of those council hoops of fire, and understand the nitty gritty to work tirelessly to achieve the best outcomes for our clients and their projects.
