If you see the council your project is located within above, then a Sustainable Design Assessment will be required. Submitting the report early and committing to providing a sustainable approach on your project, can assist in the council completing your permits sooner. Many councils favour this practice, and it is very quickly becoming a standardised approach in the industry.
