‘Before we’d even made a decision to extend out unit, Melanie very kindly took the time to talk through what we were proposing to see whether it was even possible. Her knowledge and expertise allowed us to make an informed decision before proceeding. Thanks to Change of Plan we have now had our Planning application approved by Council. Both Melanie and Carli were super helpful from start to finish and always took the time to explain things so we could understand. They were always prompt in replying to emails and kept us regularly updated as our application progressed. We were very happy with the end result and feel confident we had chosen the best team to help us out. We highly recommend Change of Plan.’

‘Melanie was of great assistance in helping me prepare for a VCAT case against a development next door to us. She gave me an idea of what to expect, how to present and then helped me ensure my presentation was thorough and accurate. I felt much more confident knowing that I was walking in there prepared. The outcome was mostly in our favour and it was a suggestion of Melanie’s that I think got us over the line. Thank you for your help Change of Plan – I wouldn’t hesitate to use you again if I find myself back at VCAT!’
