We are recognised as the pre-eminent team of town planning, development and infrastructure law experts servicing local government in South Australia.
Our approach
We provide timely, practical advice to enable local government decision makers to confidently manage the built and natural environment.
Our extensive experience of over more than 100 years enables us to provide strategic advice which is sensitive to political and commercial realities.
We understand that local government needs to work co-operatively with developers and other tiers of government wherever possible, but where necessary we are well equipped to litigate to defend the community’s interest at the highest level.
Having worked for, and within, the private sector, State and local government, we understand the drivers and pressures on all sides of a particular development or transaction.
