Service · Planning Coordination
Planning submissions, approvals and consents. Handled in-house alongside your architect.
Overview
HXL's planning team manages the council-facing side of a residential project. We work from your architect's drawings, prepare and lodge the submissions, coordinate statutory consultees, and manage the amendments and approvals through to decision. Your architect designs. We handle the council.
