Anthony Protas Consulting Pty Ltd

Anthony was very helpful and responsive to my query. They weren't able to assist this time, but he gave us really useful information and took the time to help to explain things clearly, so that we could proceed in the right direction.

I have had a terrible experience dealing with this certifier. I have repeatedly tried to communicate with him regarding compliance with a DA condition and he has failed to respond to my concerns in a reasonable manner. Specifically, I have asked him to clarify the privacy screens to be installed at a neighbouring development so that I can make an assessment as to whether the intent of a DA condition regarding the installation of privacy screens (to protect neighbour privacy) will be complied with. Although I have asked the question repeatedly, he has refused to clarify the screens to be installed leaving me concerned that my privacy will be significantly comprised, in contrast to the intention of DA condition (as expressly stated in the assessment report). Unfortunately, due to his lack of cooperation and interest in my concern, I had to engage council to clarify the intentions of the DA condition regarding neighbour privacy (which were already evident in the assessment report) and to ensure compliance with the DA. I have trouble thinking of anyone who I have dealt with who has been as dismissive and inconsiderate regarding the raising of legitimate concerns as I have found this certifier to be towards me.

Good guy, very helpful.
