Here Are Some of the Issues You’ll Face…
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or drowning in endless paperwork and compliance, you’re not alone. The planning system is complex and can be frustrating for business owners.
Putting together a veterinary hospital application can be extremely hard and tiring and dealing with council can be a nightmare, not to mention the whole process can be very expensive in both time and money. Plus, we’re pretty sure, you have better things to do… That’s where we fit in!
It’s what we do, all day, everyday. With a team of 10+ highly knowledgeable and experienced town planners, property consultants, registered architect and draftsman we’re pretty good at what we do.
What Rules Do I Need to Comply With?
Having worked on many veterinary hospital projects over the past 25 years common compliance rules and questions to consider are:
1.
Car parking – You have fantastic ideas, but how will your customers get to you? Will they need to drive? If so, will you have adequate parking? Will you be seen to be placing an extra burden on existing infrastructure? How do you know what is adequate? The number of professionals and staff will impact parking and the number of animals that can be treated in a day. How do you get around and work within the town planning rules?
2.
Noise – Noise generation for day time animal visitors together with those that may be on-premises for overnight monitoring will be an important consideration that council will look at carefully.
3.
Retail – Were you thinking of having a retail component to your veterinary hospital? Will there be pet supplies or over-the-counter drugs available for purchase? But you discover the retail component is prohibited in the zone?
4.
Surgical waste – How will you manage the complex arrangements for the disposal of surgical waste? You will need to make sure that your proposal is prepared by a town planner with experience with these applications.
