JPC Planning

James has worked effectively with us over an 18 month period to achieve DA approval for our dream family home on the Ocean in Wombarra. Our file classification was Designated Development" due to Environmental Zoning constraints on the subject site.James handled the additional state governments Planning Secretary's Environmental Planning Requirements (SEAR) professionally by calling on his extensive knowledge base in this area to complete the SEAR request application which also included an Environmental Impact Statement or 'EIS' for short. James was always available throughout the process to speak with when we had questions and guide as through the process.Due to the number of objections generated against our DA through the multiple submission / notification periods our file went to the Local Planing Panel (LPP) twice where James spoke on our behalf both times.James articulated well and represented our design thoroughly and accurately from a town planning perspective. We look forward to working with James in the future and wish him all the best with his future business endeavours. We highly recommend him to others who are looking for local or state level planning expertise.Gyles and Victoria Deacon"

Client review:Hi JamesThank you so much for your assistance in obtaining our Council DA Approval so quickly. We approached several Town Planners and they either did not reply or formally Quote us for a DA Application, or show any interest to undertake the Application for our DA. Your DA Application cost was $2,000.00 less than any other Town Planners. We are so impressed and your skills which has saved us many thousands of Dollars. We have no hesitation in recommending you. Job well done.Yours SincerelyTony & Shanes' Mechanical Repairs

Highly recommend James! He is professional and up-to-date with all the latest policies. He is efficient and great at what he does. Absolute pleasure to deal with. Will definitely use his services again. Thanks heaps

After moving into our recently purchased property in beautiful Wombarra we were keen to undertake some minor renovations for a new entrance door way and install an en-suite - little were we aware of the process required to lodge a DA with council taking into account our environmental zoning. Full marks to front desk staff at Wollongong Council for the helpful and friendly assistance whenever we approached them with our questions which was a nice surprise; but without James at JPC Planning the process of actual lodgement with all required docs and certs would certainly have been daunting and frustrating. Working with all relevant parties he quickly prepared and submitted our DA (unfortunately we still had to wait an extended time for Council to action the DA !) but am happy to confirm the DA was recently stamped and approved and we can now move on to commencing our renovations! Thanks again James - we will be in contact with you again when we are ready to put the pool in !Regards,Justin and YolandeWombarra

James resolved the issues we had with council approvals for building works in a professional manner and was also easy to communicate with. I would recommend him highly.

JPC Planning was a pleasure to deal with. James was efficient and quick to respond, our project was finalised in the timeframe promised and a favourable outcome was achieved. Would most definitely recommend!

We can not thank James enough!From the minute I called JamesHe was honest, straightforward and knowledgeable ,quote arrived within half an hour of our conversation.And he was immediately on to council regarding our case.Got us through a awful situation.My only regret is I spent weeks trying to solve the problem on my own and JPC planning should have been my very first phone call!All our future projects James will be our first call!Thank you!Lesley chapman

Could not fault James job he did for me with our DA application. He is very thorough and a pleasure to work with. Always there to answer any questions that arise. Would highly recommend him to use for your projects.

We couldn't be happier with the work James from JPC Planning did for us. James gave us accurate timeframes, was super easy to communicate with and did a brilliant job supporting our council submission up in Mount Kembla where there was a number of hoops to jump through for approval. We highly recommend JPC Planning.

Planning and professionalism of the highest quality. Can’t thank James enough for the hard work, competency and advice.
