25.01.2022 2020 has been a huge year for Concept Planning and Development Consultants. This is only year 3 of this fledgeling consultancy and I am proud to say that, not only did we survive Covid and come out the other end of lock down relatively unscathed, we picked up new & repeat clients, delivered several development approvals for large and small applications, assessed countless applications for two different regional councils and engaged a virtual assistant to help out with admin tasks. Thank you to all our clients, consultants and colleagues for your support during 2020. We are taking a well deserved rest for the next few days and the office will be closed from 23rd December and reopening on 4 January, ready to face the challenges and opportunities that 2021 has in store for us. Merry Christmas have a safe and happy new year everyone!

24.01.2022 I love it when the locals come to say Hi

22.01.2022 If you need to contact Fraser Coast Regional Council Planning and Growth Team, face to face contact is being restricted in light of the pandemic emergency. Embracing digital technology, Concept Planning and Development Consultants will continue to liaise with Council officers on your projects without putting either Council staff or myself at risk. Stay safe people. #FCRC

18.01.2022 Post-prelodgement meeting coffee break at one of my favourites.

17.01.2022 Since we are now in the post-Covid19 world I thought I would re-share this post I wrote a couple of years ago. It is worth thinking through the challenges and pitfalls of working from home. Covid has shown us all how many workplace scenarios can work well with staff off-site or working from home. Some businesses can also operate from home but planning laws have not quite caught up with this new trend. The impacts of your home based business may need to be explored, mitigated or a planning approval sought.

13.01.2022 Changes to the Planning Act 2016 have been put into effect by recent urgent amendments that respond to the need for flexibility during a declared applicable event. The Minister for Planning declared on 19 March 2020, that the Covid-19 emergency is an applicable event under s.275E of the Planning Act 2016, effective from 20 March 2020 until 20 June 2020 inclusive. The effect of this declaration allows the implementation of new provisions in the Planning Act 2016 to remove c...onstraints that may limit the operation and delivery of essential services, and makes provision for statutory timeframes for development assessment under the Planning Act 2016 and the Economic Development Act 2012 to be managed to allow local and state government decision making to continue to meet statutory timeframes where staffing may be unduly affected or limited as a result of the declared applicable event. These provisions are a permanent inclusion in the Planning Act 2016 moving forward and will cover declared applicable events moving forward such as bushfires, cyclones or other adverse disasters. For customers, this means that where conditions of approval have limited delivery or operational timeframes to mitigate amenity impacts of a development, and where the development provides an essential service that is covered by a blanket declaration of particular uses issued by the Minister, such development may operate, unrestricted, 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the duration of the applicable event. This also means that where customers have an application currently being assessed by local or state government the Minister has the ability to extend or suspend statutory timeframes. These extension notices will enable local and state government agencies to manage their workload during the period of the applicable event.

13.01.2022 When the address says "Repeater Station Road" you can be pretty sure there is going to be a spectacular view...

13.01.2022 From time to time I get asked what I do. If I just responded simply with "I am a Planner" most are still unsure of what I do for a profession. The Planning Institute of Australia has produced this short video that helps to explain what planners do to help you and our community.

12.01.2022 Public transport to work for a change. Much better than battling inner city traffic.

12.01.2022 I have had the privilege of working with Malcolm Holz in years past. His creative approach to urban design solutions has always been an inspiration to me and pushes the boundaries of what is possible. In this time of change during the pandemic the changing face of business and commerial activity with work from home spaces and a localised focus on business Malcolm's Creative Suburb solutions could be just what we need to fill the gap.

09.01.2022 New place for coffee on the run today.

08.01.2022 Is recycled plastic the way to go in road construction? I would love to hear your thoughts on this concept which has been trialled in several locations across Australia.

07.01.2022 Practicing some visual communication techniques.

06.01.2022 If you were thinking that building controls and design considerations for comfort, privacy and natural breezes was a new thing that planners include into planning schemes just to make planning assessment look good, have a look at this extract from the 1925 publication"Workers' Dwellings: information for intending applicants" published by the Government Printer, Brisbane under "The State Advances Act of 1916" for the State Advances Corporation (Workers' Dwellings Branch).

05.01.2022 A great move for Fraser Coast heritage this week as the Councillors resolved to better protect the region's heritage through the preparation of a Heritage Plan coupled with a heritage advisory service and potential for 100% reduction on infrastructure charges for projects that conserve heritage. Well done Fraser Coast Regional Council!

04.01.2022 As the CoVid-19 pandemic crisis continues, small businesses are going to need the whole community to help them stay afloat. Many people will be impacted by the virus and the outfall of its effect and everyone has a duty of care to help make sure they are doing everything they can to minimise contact with other people which may lead to transmission of the virus to someone who may become very ill. For sole traders like myself, the strategy of social distancing is paramount. ...Continue reading

02.01.2022 Is this the future of cemeteries? Should burial grounds become 'set and forget' alternatives to the ongoing cost of maintenance of traditional cemeteries?
