Planning Permit Application Management Melbourne
At M.J. Reddie Surveys, we want to make life easier for our clients and know that obtaining planning permits from local council can be time consuming and stressful, which is why we offer a Planning Permit Management and Lodgement service where we obtain the permits for you.
What is a Planning Permit?
A planning permit is a legal document issued by the local council required for permission for certain types of land use or development. You may need a planning permit for projects involving land affected by planning overlays, construction of townhouses, apartments, or secondary dwellings like granny flats, sheds, garages, carports, extensions to heritage-listed properties, land subdivision proposals, commercial or mixed-use developments. It’s an essential step to ensure your project complies with local planning regulations.
