Environment & Planning

Lavan's Planning, Environment & Land Compensation team offers extensive expertise across a range of disciplines including planning, environment, land compensation, native title and other property related services. The team has the expertise, industry knowledge and contacts to advocate your interests, expedite the approval process and make practical suggestions to ensure competitive deadlines are met.

This expansion allows us to provide consistently high quality advice on all facets of town planning (including structure planning, development and subdivision proposals), the environmental appraisals process (both State and Federal), the conduct of representation advocacy before decision makers and on review (including proceedings in the Supreme Court, State Administrative Tribunal and before the Appeals Convenor).

Our close relationships with key decision making authorities including the Department of Planning, Western Australian Planning Commission, Department of Environment Regulation and Environmental Protection Authority as well as local governments, enables us to engage in proactive dialogue on behalf of our clients, facilitating faster and more pragmatic results. Once your project is approved, we do not abandon you. The integrated resources of the Lavan team mean that we can provide added value for your large projects from commencement to completion, addressing issues such as property, banking and finance, construction and contracts and litigation.
