But lodgement of an application is just the start of the process, with much of the critical work taking place later, when we negotiate outcomes with approval agencies. Our Planning staff have a wealth of experience gained from working with state and other government agencies, so we are well placed to advocate on all sorts of projects in metropolitan and regional areas.
We understand that every project is important to the client, regardless of the scale and complexity of the tasks at hand, and we work not only for professional land developers, but for people from a range of backgrounds, including small business owners, retailers, and landowner groups.

Rowe Group’s experienced planning advocates often represent Clients at the State Administrative Tribunal. In addition, our planning team can act as expert planning witnesses at the Tribunal and in other jurisdictions.

Our advocacy experience further extends to land compensation and acquisition (resumption) matters.

We specialise in urban renewal project coordination and work extensively with architects, technical advisors and government to deliver urban design outcomes that enhance the built environment and sustainability of our communities.

Rowe Group’s experience extends to the agricultural sector, working with rural land users to obtain approvals for, and to protect rural industries.
