Thomas Property - Project Management Team have been appointed to undertake a review of the DA documentation submitted to Council to identify whether there are any other information that should have been included in the DA submission to minimize the number of DA consent conditions.
In most instances, DA consent conditions must be addressed prior to the preparation of documentation for Construction Certification (CC). As such, the CC process takes longer to complete.
Based on our meeting with the client, it is our understanding that despite having received development approval for 49 Victoria Street, Revesby, there are a number of Consent Conditions that must be addressed to Council's satisfaction before progressing to the Construction Certificate preparation phase.

-
