Environment & Planning

Addisons’ highly respected Environment & Planning team brings an unsurpassed depth of experience advising on NSW projects, assisting clients to navigate complex approval processes and turn their planned projects into reality.

Clients can be assured of our comprehensive support through all stages of projects, from preliminary strategic advice, due diligence and scoping, planning and approvals processes, agreements, financing to commencement, construction, operation and disposal.

With long experience with the environment and planning legal framework, our lawyers bring dual expertise in architecture, environmental science and policy. We are creative problem-solvers, skilled in negotiating and communicating with a wide range of stakeholder groups. Our advice ensures clients can address the overlapping policy, politics, risk and legal issues that can influence planning processes. We enable clients to anticipate decision-makers’ concerns and navigate the path to approval. Our strong commercial perspective and pragmatic approach ensures we focus on the points worth pursuing.

Addisons has assisted clients deliver projects including CBD commercial towers, mines, ports, hotels and resorts, energy, transport and logistics, pipelines, as well as greenfield and infill residential development and shopping centres. We are very proud of our role supporting clients to create some of the State’s landmark spaces.
