We’re thrilled to share another win from the Bass Coast Shire, where our team recently secured planning approval for a small second dwelling, decking and associated works at Bass Highway, Grantville — all while resolving compliance issues and unlocking peace of mind for our client. ✅
💡 What Was Involved?
This wasn’t your everyday permit. It was a retrospective application involving complex overlays, steep topography, and prior enforcement risks. Our role? To streamline the process, reduce stress, and deliver clarity.
Here’s what we achieved:
🔹 Approval for a small second dwelling and rainwater tanks
🔹 Retrospective endorsement of decking and associated buildings
🔹 Custom town planning drawings produced in-house
🔹 Overlay compliance across BMO, LSIO, and ESO1
🔥 Bushfire Planning? Sorted.
Thanks to Paul Ikonomidis from Keystone Alliance, we developed a comprehensive Bushfire Management Plan that addressed all risk elements and met Clause 44.06 requirements. Always a pleasure working with you, Paul!
🌊 Flooding Constraints? Navigated.
We successfully collaborated with Melbourne Water to respond to local flooding risks and ensure the development met LSIO criteria — a key piece of the approval puzzle.
🌱 Why This Matters:
This approval turns a once-complex site into a compliant, functional rural property. It’s a great example of how regional planning challenges — from environmental overlays to retrospective works — can be resolved with the right team, approach, and documentation.
