Planning and Environment

David Landa Stewart has significant experience and expertise working for public sector and private sector clients ranging from local councils, property developers, owner/builders and major companies.

We have not only acted for clients involved in property development but also those affected by them – such as adjoining owners.

In addition to utilising legal expertise from across the firm, our lawyers work together with a panel of barristers and a range of external professionals such as town planners, architects, geotechnical specialists, heritage consultants, environmental consultants, property valuers and hydraulic engineers to provide advice on issues as required.

 

At DLS we can assist with the following:

  • review and assess proposed development plans to iron out possible “issues”
  • advice on preparation of development applications, rezoning applications and consolidation applications
  • dealing with council and neighbour objections on behalf of developers and interested parties
  • representation at council and neighbourhood meetings
  • interpretation and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations
  • court appearances
  • expert evidence

 

Within these broad areas, we offer advice on issues including:

  • environmental protection and policy
  • developments and planning activity
  • state planning policy
  • contamination issues
  • community groups – advice, liaison and negotiation
  • environmental audits
  • heritage and conservation listings and regulations

Testimonials

I have been in business since 1974. For the first 6 years I had a partner, and DLS did a remarkable job helping me negotiate our partnership agreement.

In 1980 I decided to split from the partner and again DLS were very helpful in negotiating the breakup of the agreement.Since 1970 I have bought and sold several properties. All the transactions were handled by DLS and because they are so thorough with their work I have never had a problem, with any of them.

I have also bought several commercial properties over the last 40 years and again, all of the deals were handled with the assistance and expertise of DLS. They have also handled the leasing of the properties since we acquired them.

Over the past 40 or so years I have also had a couple of complex litigation matters. One particular problem involved a licensing arrangement with a UK distribution company. DLS were very helpful in terms of the legal strategy to be adopted throughout, and when we did ultimately resolve the matter, DLS prepared and negotiated the terms of settlement on our behalf.

I have also had countless phone calls to DLS over the years, seeking advice on a range of commercial matters. They are always helpful, businesslike, and friendly.

Since I commenced with them 43 years ago, I have never been to another lawyer.

I trust we will be working together for many years to come

Allan M

Over the years my accounting firm has referred many legal matters to DLS - including commercial matters, business structuring, land tax matters, complex estate planning matters, and deceased estate administration matters.

I have also worked closely with the senior lawyers at DLS in many of these matters. They always have a broad grasp of the legal issues at hand but what really sets them apart is that they present the issues in a very practical and commercial way. I would not hesitate to refer my clients to DLS in the future."

Jonathon I

I have been referring my clients to David Landa Stewart for many years.

These have been for straightforward conveyancing matters as well as more complex lending proposals.

They have always provided my clients with the highest level of service and attention to detail.

I can strongly recommend them and I will continue to send my clients to David Landa Stewart
