Statement of Environmental Effects

A Statement of Environmental Effects (SEE) is a key document required for every Development Application (DA). It outlines how the proposed development complies with local and state planning controls, and assesses any potential environmental, social, and economic impacts. The SEE also explains how these impacts will be managed, ensuring the proposal is appropriate for the site and surrounding area. Whether it is a new home, renovation, or commercial project, an SEE is essential to support a smooth and successful DA process.

A Clause 4.6 Variation Request is a formal application that seeks to vary a development standard under the Local Environmental Plan (LEP), such as building height or floor space ratio. It must demonstrate that strict compliance with the standard is unreasonable or unnecessary in the circumstances, and that the proposed development still achieves the objectives of the standard and the zone. This request must be carefully prepared by a qualified town planner to ensure it meets all legislative requirements and has the best chance of being supported by Council.
