Planning Appeals
If council refuse your planning application or you are not happy with the conditions on your permit and you apply to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT), choose Keen Planning to manage your appeal.

Our Project Directors and senior personnel are highly experienced tribunal representatives who seek to maximise your chances and minimise your risks.  In a number of cases we are also able to successfully negotiate with the Council and other parties to agree to an amended proposal prior to the hearing.  This can be a significant cost saving exercise.

Where the initial planning permit application has not been prepared by our office and you choose us to represent you before the VCAT we have developed a methodology that will maximise your chances of success.  We will:

  • Undertake a detailed analysis of the development plans
  • Assess the design principles, plan details and the quality of the presentation
  • Clearly articulate the chances of success and the best strategic approach
  • Recommend plan amendments to maximise the chance of VCAT support
  • Liaise with relevant stakeholders to gain ‘in-principle’ support or at least to minimise the areas of opposition/maximise the chances of success.
  • Advise whether additional experts are required to support your proposal.
