FAQ's

What is a land development consultant?

A land development consultant provides support and guidance throughout the entire development process, from concept through to completion for various purposes, such as residential, commercial or industrial use.

At McKenzie & Co., our team offers services, including providing development options, costings, staging, programs, timings and the initial feasibility studies process.

We’ll engage with Councils, CCOs (Council-Controlled Organisations), Government departments, NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organisations) and utility providers to navigate complex regulations and help you make decisions on moving your project forward to ensure a successful outcome.

What is the purpose of a land development feasibility study?

The purpose of a land development feasibility study is to provide a preliminary assessment of a proposed development plan in order to determine the likelihood of successful completion and its overall viability.

This assessment aims to identify potential risks to the project and examine all aspects of potential legal, financial and environmental issues.

At McKenzie & Co., we can advise on the regulations that apply to your proposed development and any constraints that may apply to the land. We’ll also help guide you through this process and quickly identify specific information the Council will likely require for consenting processes.

How long until our land development project can get up & running?

Land development project timelines can vary massively due to a number of factors. Lead times to getting projects underway can be significant, especially without the knowledge and expertise to navigate complex land development processes and regulations.

This is where our land development experts can make the process easy for you. At McKenzie & Co., we’ll provide you with the guidance and support you need for a successful and positive outcome.
