Our clients enjoy access to an integrated and comprehensive range of services, supporting the delivery of all elements of their property and environment/planning projects on time and within budget and thus, providing real value.
The Addisons’ team is active in all stages of projects from the early stages of due diligence and scoping, through the planning and approvals process, contracting, financing, operations and ultimately disposal/acquisition.
Our clear objective from the outset of such projects is to bring the project to a successful conclusion, as defined by our clients, not to put frustrating road blocks in their way. Whilst legislation can be read by anyone, it is how discretion under that legislation is exercised, and how stakeholders respond, that forms part of the planning law matrix. We collaborate with clients and their consultant teams to assist in and deliver their strategy. Our team has great depth and experience in advising on NSW planning and environment law including team members with environmental science qualifications and experience advising in the public sector.
Addisons expertise includes infrastructure projects such as CBD commercial properties, mining, ports, hotels and resorts, energy, transport and logistics, pipelines, residential development and shopping centres.
