PPC Urban offers planning appeal services at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) and Planning Panel hearings.
Our consultants advocate for quality planning outcomes for public and private sector clients at various planning appeals, either as a government representative or as an expert witness. Our consultants have been engaged in dealing with matters, such as housing and employment developments, infrastructure contributions, utility facilities and open space provisions.
Our town planners specialise in managing planning appeal cases. The services we can provide in relation to hearings are:
- Assessment of preliminary planning merits and advice on applicable grounds for a VCAT appeal/hearing;
- Preparation and project management of Applications for Review at VCAT;
- Preparation of planning expert evidence and witness statements, including a detailed review of appeal cases and hearings;
- Submission and presentation of expert evidence and witness statements at appeals; or
- Advocacy role and representation at mediation and appeals.
Below is an indicative process chart for a VCAT hearing.
