Planning and Development in New South Wales comes with a lot of red tape. Let us help you cut through it. Antunes Lawyers can guide you through the highly regulated world of planning and development so that you can start building.
Getting approval to use land is often the first step in making your dream business or home a reality. If you’re planning to build, having a great lawyer on your side could be the difference between getting approved or rejected.
In NSW, the most significant legislation that impacts planning and development is the Environment Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW). This statute establishes a legal responsibility to ensure that land is used in a way that considers the environment and requires proposals for land use to meet strict conditions.
Our lawyers can advise you on Local Environmental Plans and State Environmental Planning Policies, help you obtain approval for demolition, the subdivision of land, or the erection of a building, and even represent you to appeal decisions in the Land and Environment Court.
I am now a very happy first homeowner thanks to Antunes Lawyers. The whole process was overwhelming to me and with a short settlement I needed a miracle. I highly recommend Antunes Lawyers to any first home buyer in Sydney.

We worked with Antunes on both the sale of one property and purchase of another, picking up key value levers which helped us back out of some less favourable deals, advising on complexities around settlement timelines and helping with a last-minute negotiation on our final property. Throughout all of this the team were highly communicative, and always had our best interests in mind - thanks guys!
