So far we’ve helped more than 30,491 people achieve Council Approval & now we’d love to help you too.
If you are not a town planner, dealing with Blue Mountains Council can be a nightmare, not to mention very expensive in both time and money. Founded by Max Fragar in 1996, after a highly successful career as Director of Planning in Blue Mountains City Council, Max started our firm. His time at Blue Mountains Council as Director of Town Planning was highly rewarding. It included securing World Heritage Listing for the Blue Mountains, bringing Fairmont Resort and Lilianfels to Leura/Katoomba, and preserving the Carrington Hotel. Today a team of 20+ highly knowledgeable town planners and property consultants, with more than 387 years of town planning experience, we’re pretty good at what we do. To help streamline projects we also support our clients with the help of our in house architect and draftsman. Our head office is still based in Leura.

We could make up a fantasied timeframe to wow you, but to be straight up the length of getting an approval is dependent on the project development type, the local council, who examines your application within council, location of the property within the local council and on the property itself, and the list goes on. The approval process will no doubt take longer than you expect because we are dealing with administrative red tape.
But what our team has done has studied the 30,491+ properties we have been involved in and analysed the 300+ flight years of team council approval experience to create a formidable system.
