Assessment & Government Projects
Samples of our development assessment work including Environmental Impact Assessment of social housing, infrastructure and environmental projects for several State government departments as well as assessment of complex development applications for over twenty NSW Councils.
Social Housing Projects
Various projects throughout NSW / Housing NSW
Planning Ingenuity has successfully completed over 100 projects for Housing NSW, the Aboriginal Housing Office and Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care. This includes delivery of Environmental Impact Assessment under Part 5 of the EP&A Act, 1979 for 22 medium density projects within the Hunter and Western regions of NSW under the Nation Building Economic Stimulus Project. This program operated under aggressive timeframes and required in-depth understanding of the SEPP (Affordable Rental Housing). We continue as a member of the Housing NSW Consultant Planners Panel, undertaking several residential projects each year.

Corrimal Retail Centre
Development application assessment for Wollongong Council
On behalf of Wollongong Council, our firm undertook pre-DA and DA assessment of a development application by Valad for redevelopment of a former Council car park for a 16,000m2 retail centre with 650 car spaces within the heart of the Corrimal Village. In conjunction with GM Urban Design, we worked with the applicant and stakeholders to refine the design to integrate with the existing strip centre and to protect views to the Illawarra Escarpment. The approved development forms an integral part of the Corrimal Revitalisation Strategy and will stimulate activity within the centre.

Mixed Use Tower - 1-3 Elizabeth Street, Burwood
Development application assessment for Burwood Council
Planning Ingenuity was engaged as an independent consultant to carry out assessment of a development proposal for a high density mixed use development on a narrow allotment at the edge of the town centre. Assessment was undertaken during Council’s transition to a new Town Centre LEP and was one of the first large scale developments to set the tone for future development in the City Centre. We worked closely with all stakeholders to arrive at a scale and massing appropriate to the locality and Council’s desired future character under the new planning regime.
