09 Feb Fast Approval for a Unit Development in Glen Eira
I have just received the planning permit for a two unit development in Vera Street, Bentleigh East. This was a collaboration with Enlight Building Design.

This permit was successfully attained in just three months. This isn’t bad considering this timeframe included the month delay to see if the objector would appeal to VCAT and includes the Christmas/New Year break as well!
Glen Eira have a fast track process called NORFI (or No Request for Further Information) which I have found very useful in getting much faster decisions compared to other Councils. This process means that the application is assessed as part of the lodgement process and then proceeds directly to advertising within 10 days of lodgement.
With easy and fast timeframes like this I’m looking forward to lodging my next application in Glen Eira. I only hope that such innovative practices get adopted by other Councils soon.
