Ep. 209 - Working for Council, Design Approvals, Delays and Negotiation
Councils can fast-track your project or drain your cashflow—sometimes in the same week. In this episode we unpack how to navigate council planning schemes, relaxations, objections and the politics that so often dictate approval.
Learn practical tactics for pre-lodgement meetings, choosing the right town planner, negotiating setbacks and density, and budgeting for inevitable delays.
Whether you’re preparing your first DA or refining a multi-site play, the discussion lays out clear, experience-tested steps to keep your timeline—and interest costs—under control.
