A notice can feel overwhelming.
If council has raised concerns about works on your property, it can be difficult to know where to begin. FIDES offers planning and technical support to help you understand the issue and organise a considered response.
We work with homeowners and landowners dealing with stop work orders, alleged unauthorised works and requests for planning information.
How we can help.
- Review the notice and relevant planning history with you
- Identify missing plans, approvals or supporting reports
- Discuss possible planning pathways for the circumstances
- Coordinate technical input and council correspondence
- Assist with relevant applications where appropriate
- Discuss remediation or civil works if they form part of the required response
What to bring to the conversation.
Have the complete notice or letter available, including attachments and any dates it specifies. Existing approvals, plans, site photographs and recent council correspondence also help us understand the situation.
We will discuss the scope of our assistance before proceeding. If the issue needs legal advice, a solicitor should advise on that part of the matter.
Is the notice about environmental clean-up?
We also help coordinate environmental assessment and remediation responses.
