We wanted to express our sincere thanks and appreciation of your comprehensive and continuing service in dealing with our development on the Esplanade at Henley Beach.
As a boutique apartment complex on the beachfront, the project enjoys a considerable degree of planning complexity combined with many local sensitivities.
The service and advice which you have provided in managing both the planning application, the representations made (including liaising directly with the representors and negotiating a solution that satisfied all parties) and successfully obtaining the necessary consents has proved consistently accurate and reliable over the lengthy period and has been a key part of the continuing success of the project. This has been no small achievement and your knowledge of the technical aspects of the councils Development Plan were the reason for this.
We would happily recommend Town Planning Advisors to any developers and will continue to use them for all our future endeavours.
After hitting several brick walls and not getting anywhere with council, I was referred to Bill to assist in the planning process. In our situation, we were fortunate to have council support with the DAP rejecting our application with nothing seeming to please them. After numerous meetings with council, architect, and another planner we previously used, we weren’t getting the results we needed. Our profits were diminishing as holding costs were increasing.
After being introduced to Bill and having him look at our plans, Bill held a meeting with Senior Council staff and suggested some amendments. The suggested amendments further improved the scheme and had no real impact on the profitability of our project. With these revised plans, we went to the DAP and received an approval for 14 units in Clovelly Park (oneoak.com.au). As you could imagine we were over the moon after a lengthy 18 month battle with council. His ability to communicate and understand the way the DAP was thinking and come up with the required solution was the key to this approval. & Only if we had met Bill 18 months prior.
Bill has assisted Annito and I when we have been looking for opportunities for property development. It has become a lot more complex, convoluted, bureaucratic, and potentially very expensive to negotiate with councils including planners.
Resulting from this we have engaged Bill to advise, organise meetings, represent our point of view, liaise with designers providing his wealth of knowledge, plus his ability to source additional information as requested.
We have been extremely impressed by his quiet confidence, demeanour, accessibility, reliability, negotiating ability, and professional attitude towards us and his peers.
The benefits we have gained are time management, economic costs, less frustration and stress and focus on our own business activities. Our satisfaction with his helpful service has been a rewarding experience and we extend our thanks to him.
Bill Stefanopoulos, with his professional help, ensured we got our redevelopment application approved by council.
After being frustrated for over 2 years, we enlisted Bill to help us. With his assistance, friendship, and professionalism he ensured that major hurdles which were restricting us were approved. We were highly recommended to seek Bill’s help and advice. We found his knowledge, experience and professionalism outstanding. Bill made the hurdles into minor steps.
Getting this approval was our first major step in redeveloping our workshop, so we conclude that we are very grateful and appreciative of Bill Stefanopoulos’ assistance throughout this process.
We would highly recommend Bill to other businesses and developers with a vision for progress.
Thank you for all your assistance with my property development needs. You always seem to come up with very creative ways into finding solutions to council objections, in an efficient manner.
I have also enjoyed your clarity of communication and the fact that you keep me fully informed of progress. The culmination of all these qualities has resulted in the best results possible.
