Urban Development
When submitting a Development Application (DA) in the Illawarra region whether for a new dwelling, shed, driveway, granny flat, subdivision, or landscaping works Council will assess your proposal against key planning requirements and relevant legislation. Two of the most important local documents are your Council’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plan (DCP).
Many urban development projects also require an environmental assessment, particularly where vegetation clearing or ecological impacts may occur. The level of assessment needed depends on how your proposed works may affect the environmental and ecological values of your property.
Narla Environmental’s qualified Ecologists and Environmental Consultants can assist you in navigating these requirements and achieving DA approval across the Wollongong, Kiama, and Shellharbour Local Government Areas.
Not quite at the DA stage but want to know more about the feasibility of your property in shoalhaven for a development?
If you are thinking of purchasing a property in Shoalhaven or submitting a Development Application in the Shoalhaven LGA, we highly recommend an Ecological or Environmental Constraints Report, also known as a pre-construction constraints assessment. This low-cost report can save you time and money down the track by allowing you to most appropriately design your development to best avoid difficult environmental constraints. This report will highlight any threatened ecological communities, threatened flora, and threatened fauna species that may be present on the property.
Narla Environmental’s Ecological Constraints Assessment address all of the relevant Shoalhaven environmental constraints you may encounter during the DA stage. Commissioning this report will maximise your development potential while ensuring you maintain a strong chance of DA approval with Shoalhaven City Council.
