What Our Clients Say About Us…
‘Being from a non-English speaking background it was particularly important for me to find someone who took the time for me to understand the vision I had for the project.
Through every part of the process Fragar Planning is honest, keen and give good technical knowledge.’
‘I have a lot of ideas but I don’t know the rules and regulations. It is quite stressful to do it on my own and I didn’t want to waste anymore time.
Time is money. Having these guys with knowledge at their finger tips was very helpful.’
‘Initially I thought I could do the DA myself. I soon worked out I needed someone with the right experience, know how and time.
I would recommend to anyone who needs help with a new project and is out of their depth or don’t have the time.’
They Keep You Informed
“We knew we needed someone to help to get council approval for our café but didn’t know who to turn to. We needed someone who knew what to do with the minimal amount of fuss so we could build our business. Thanks to Fragar Planning & Development we now have council approval for our café… If it wasn’t for them we probably wouldn’t be trading right now or wouldn’t have the approval we needed. I would recommend Fragar Planning & Development to any business owner needing council approval to operate their business premises from. They know the rules of the game and keep you informed along the way as your application progresses.”
Tailored to You
“The Council Approval Experts offer professional and specialised advise tailored to the specific circumstances. We certainly received the outcome we were looking for, without having to take the application to the Land & Environment Court. There is a clear customer service culture and we would recommend The Council Approval Experts without hesitation.”
Got the DA through Stress Free
“I didn’t really have any reservations in hiring Fragar Planning & Development. To be honest I didn’t even know there were such consultants in existence! But I am sure glad I found them. Thanks to the team at Fragar Planning & Development, we got the DA through stress free. They even represented us at Council Meeting. If our application had been rejected it would have put a real dampener on my business and made life harder. They brought peace of mind and I felt like we were in control, rather than just in Council’s court. I happily recommend their services to any small business needing council approval.”
Save Yourself the Hassle
“I was referred to Fragar Planning & Development by another business. I was saved the hassle of dealing with council. The application was very thorough, containing a high level of detail; it was approved by council without question.”
Quicker and Easier
“They really know what they are doing – they know how to streamline development applications and they got it done quicker than if we’d handled the application ourselves. We would recommend Fragar Planning & Development to anyone who needs Council Approval.”
Moved along very quickly
“Colin and Max gave us great advice and moved the process along very quickly which was exactly what we needed at the time. If we ever need planning help in the future you’re our first call! Thanks again.”
Incredibly Supportive
“We were hesitant to hire them in the beginning, however knowing that Max had worked for council gave us confidence that Fragar Planning & Development knew the system. They took the time to explain the process in layman’s terms and were incredibly supportive and confident of a good result. They reassured us at times as it is VERY easy to lose all hope with the DA process. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fragar Planning and Development to business owners who need Council Approval for their premises.”
Such an amazing help
“Thank you thank you THANK YOU for all the help you have given me through my development application for the Dance Studio. It has been full of many challenges but we won in the end….. I have Development Consent! You have both been such an amazing help to me through a process I’m sure I would not have seen the end of with out your help.”
Solution Providers
“I just wanted to write to say thanks to The Council Approval Experts for getting my DA approved with the first lodgement with Penrith Council. I initially had so many conversations with council, mates, and builders who all seemed to provide more confusion rather than solutions. I remember council telling me all I could possibly build would be a single storey house and that it would be difficult, then a builder stated that it was too hard due to my house being to close to an intersection. Furthermore, friends would also state that it is too difficult and not worth it and to just sell and move instead. Well, I am glad I found your business on the internet and that I persevered and that with your help I got the result I wanted. “
Council Navigation Experts
“I decided to use The Council Approval Experts due to their knowledge and professionalism. Without their expert advice, my Development Application would not have been approved. I don’t know how any non-professional could navigate through all the council requirements. I would absolutely recommend all aspects of The Council Approval Experts without hesitation.”
Against the Odds
“You guys did a great job getting that together and approved, especially with all the delays Paul and I caused with our indecision and the changes we made. I’ve heard Hawkesbury Council was not intending to approve any DA’s until the bridge was finished so ours must have been so compliant that they couldn’t refuse. So, thank you very much, and I will be recommending your services to our friends.”
Trusted and Capable
“I needed some urgent assistance with the project and Fragar Planning & Development were the first to get back to me and handled my project with knowledge of what needed to be done. I was confident that I could leave that aspect of the approval in capable hands and that it would be done. Naomi displayed a level of expertise that you wouldn’t normally come across in planners.”
They look after everyone
“We had a look on the Internet and looked at a whole heap of town planners and most said they wouldn’t look at the smaller jobs, but councilapproval.com.au really grabbed our attention. We liked that Fragar Planning & Development look after everyone. When we made the initial phone call to them we found them very easy and friendly to talk to. Not only that, they really know how to deal with Council. Before we had Fragar Planning & Development by our side, we just couldn’t get any traction with Council. Council was giving us the run around and wouldn’t budge. After we engaged the team, Max talked to Council and things just started moving for us. It seemed like that within two phone calls to Council by Max, our application was moving in the right direction. Over the weeks that followed, Max was able to get the answers and results from Council we were looking for. We would recommend Fragar Planning & Development to anybody and everyone that needs help in dealing with Council. No matter how big or small, they are willing to help just the average Australian.”
Have the confidence to call them
“I got referred to Fragar Planning & Development from someone who gave them a glowing reference. With Max having so much experience in local government, it gave me confidence to give them a call. As soon as I talked to Max I knew I was on a winner.
I’m over the moon about the result. Max’s research and his way of dealing with Council really paid off. We went from having little support for our proposal to having unanimous Councillor support at the recent Council meeting. Having Max in my corner gave me confidence, as well as Council confidence, that the proposal was right. Max’s cool head, his experience in dealing with not only Council but with the Department of Planning and Office of State Water, gave everyone confidence that the proposal should go ahead.
What sort of person would I recommend Fragar Planning & Development to? Well, anyone who needs support and guidance. Max will support the proposal and give it the best chance if it is the right thing to do. Max will give you an honest indication from the beginning as to whether what you want to do is possible. He was honest from day one and that gave me a lot of certainty. I couldn’t be happier.”
