Local Government & Planning

Local Government & Planning Law

We provide advice and representation to various local councils across NSW in a range of matters.

A reputation for expertise and understanding

Our local government and planning lawyers understand the important role of local government in the community. They have extensive experience in dealing with planning and environmental regimes, administrative matters, civil enforcement and the other wide-ranging legal issues that confront councils.

This expertise was recognised recently with our appointment to a local government panel alongside several well-established top-tier firms.
