4 Key Stages Where You Will
Need JREY.
1. Pre-purchase Assessment.
Early consultation is a key determinant of success in property development projects. Not only can we provide site investigation, including comprehensive information about the history of the property and any limitations, we also jump right in to liaise with Council and interested parties from the earliest possible stages.
We’ve found that a consultative approach leads to smoother processes, improved risk mitigation strategy and better overall outcomes, no matter the complexities of the proposed transaction
2. Pre-lodgement.
Pre-lodgement meetings are not always necessary for minor projects. However, this service isavailable from most Councils and state Departments to examine project feasibility and whetherthe development is likely to meet legislative requirements. We recommend taking advantage of this service to avoid regulatory obstacles that can stall the project once it’s underway.
Having professional town planners like JREY representing and advocating for you in pre-lodgement meetings can be a make-or-break factor in the success of your development project.
We have excellent working relationships with all Councils. We’re able to mediate, advise and workwith you and officials to gain favourable outcomes and determine possible solutions. In some cases,the final solution has been better than our clients ever dreamed of.

“After months of frustration, attempting the paperwork on their own for a dwelling house DA, JREY was called in to make it happen. We had the approval done and in their hands within the
month.”

With prior development approval for multiple dwellings set to lapse within 6 months, and no possibility of commencing construction in that time, JREY was called in to help. The client needed an extension of the currency period so they could start construction later, without reapplying for approval. JREY assessed the project against the existing and previous legislation and obtained a 2-year extension to the currency period.
