As lead Planning Consultant for this multi-disciplinary project, managing statutory planning and approvals from macro level planning legislation amendments to detailed estate development approvals. In addition, KFTP manage planning aspects of environmental approvals and mapping data for a multi-disciplinary team in excess of 80 different consultants across both the ACT and NSW.

KEY LESSONS
KFTP is leading the way for the implementation of integrated development in the Territory and the approving authorities are learning with us.
Combined with the introduction of innovative approaches and the delivery of alternative product to the market requires greater engagement with Government to work with them to achieve the full benefits of an outcomes based approach to estate development.
