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 medical centre 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.
Car parking – Often a medical centre’s biggest challenge is car parking. Compliance not only with design but with number of spaces needed and adequate provision of parking for people with a disability. Will you be seen to be placing an extra burden on existing infrastructure? How do you know what is adequate?
Accessibility – You must be sure that your existing building or new construction meets all the accessibility requirements including parking requirements and building design.
Traffic generation – Do you know how much traffic will be generated by the medical centre? Is the existing infrastructure capable of handling the additional traffic? Do you know an experienced professional that can prepare a traffic report to illustrate this information for Council?
Aesthetics – Does the proposed building design fit with the community? Medical centres are typically larger buildings so it is important that the design works with the character of the neighbourhood.
Surgical waste – How will you manage the complex provisions associated with the disposal of surgical waste? You will need a waste management plan to go with your DA specific to the disposal of surgical waste. State health regulations require surgical waste disposal arrangements to ensure contaminated waste is collected and disposed of in a safe and hygienic manner.

To get that success rate it has only come after helping over 30,491 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 30,491+ applications we have been involved in and analysed the 300+ flight years of team council approval experience to create a formidable system.
