Our office collaborates closely with designers on proposed developments for Community Care Accommodation and Rooming Houses, which are subject to specific planning provisions under Clauses 52.22 and 52.33 of the Municipal Planning Scheme. These clauses outline criteria that, if met, can exempt the proposal from requiring a planning permit (provided there are no permit triggers under any applicable planning overlays).
As part of this process, we review the proposed drawings and supporting information against the relevant planning provisions to determine if the development qualifies for an exemption. We then prepare a comprehensive submission to the Council requesting a Certificate of Compliance, which confirms that the proposal is exempt from needing a planning permit.
Once the Certificate of Compliance is issued, the development can proceed directly to securing a building permit and then to construction, significantly reducing potential delays.
This streamlined process ensures that the facility can be delivered and occupied in a timely manner, providing essential support to those who need it most.
