Altus Planning

Another unanimous approval for Altus Planning with a Child Care Premises in Mandurah. This one catering for 76 children was approved this morning by the Metro Outer Development Assessment Panel. We had the typical challenges associated with these types of proposals including convincing the City's engineers on the optimum crossover location that balanced amenity considerations.    Congratulations to the entire project team, including Joe Germano from Germano Designs, Herring Storer Acoustics, and SALT3. Special thanks also to our Senior Planner Jayden Pope for his diligent work from the start to finish with the planning application.

The Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) WA State Conference is just around the corner, and Altus Planning are proud to once again sponsor pre-conference drinks. Come and join us to take the edge off the conference before it even starts. Thursday, 5 September at 7pm. Tickets include two (2) drinks per person + canapes. See you there!

Some words of wisdom from our Director on the self-represented applicant at the SAT.

It's been an exciting 24 hours here at Altus Planning as we've successfully obtained not 1 but 2 approvals for Child Care Premises in the City of South Perth on behalf of our clients, Panda Early Learning Centre. Childcare facilities always present their challenges, and these were not different; with one a retrofit of two former residential dwellings in an activity centre precinct and the other a new-purpose built two-storey facility in a residential zone. Both of these centres will go some way to addressing the demand for childcare within the South Perth and Como localities. Special thanks to our Associate Ben Laycock for his hard work together with the broader project teams, including Paterson Architects, ON Architecture, Herring Storer Acoustics, Urbii, KCTT (part of Premise) and Kimberley Beasley (PhD) of Childscapes.

We are pleased to report the Metro Outer DAP's approval of a $42 million state of the art Carbon Recycling Facility in Keralup (Shire of Murray) this morning. Congratulations to our client C-Wise and the consultant team, notably Ronan, Matthew and Tayla at Talis Consultants plus John Hurley from EAQ Consulting. Finally, special thanks to Jayden Pope in our office for his hard work on this one. In a fast-growing city, waste recovery and recycling is an important part of a sustainable future. https://lnkd.in/dzgMiuf2

Congratulations to the Inside-and-Out team for their winning Site Analysis project. Elizabeth Collins, Joe Algeri and the other judges had a difficult task with every group displaying such a high standard of work. Go 1st year planning students!

We are growing... welcome to the team Elizabeth Collins as our new planning assistant. Great to have you onboard Libby!

Our esteemed Director was the first guest to be interviewed in what we hope will be an ongoing series from Andra Biondi and the team at Cornerstone Town Planning. Andra and Joe tackled a broad range of issues including planning reform, the R-Codes, affordability, immigration, all 3 tiers of government and the State Administrative Tribunal. Well, if you do listen, you'll see that Joe cleverly sidestepped that last one and diverted to third-party appeals.
