Sometimes, even changes to a building, that in the scheme of things appear small, will need to be approved by your local council before you can proceed.
RG Strategic lodged a town planning application for the Minor Change for the addition of a cabana structure in the existing pool area for Unit 1 at Artis Villas, Noosa Drive.
With the approval also came new stipulations from Council, including the usual stipulation that the development must be undertaken and operated in a manner that causes no detrimental effect upon the amenity of the neighbourhood by reason of the creation of excessive noise, lighting nuisance or other emissions.
In addition:
- The rooftop terrace cabana roof structure must remain unenclosed; and
- The rooftop terrace cabana roof structure must not exceed a maximum of 2.5 m in height above the existing FFL of the rooftop terrace and not exceed 38 m² of the rooftop area.
The proposed design for the cabana at Artis Villas, features an open roof design, which Council, in their approval of the project, stipulated must remain
RG Strategic worked with the following specialists to deliver this project:

Russell assisted us through our applications for a Liquor Licence and a Food Licence. 2 things we could "set and forget" and not worry about, allowing us to concentrate on other important issues to get the business up and running. These were completed with minimal fuss and within our timelines.

I was faced with the urgent task of applying for a food license with a very tight deadline. After assessing the overwhelming amount of paperwork involved, I decided to engage in the services of RG Strategic. I phoned Russell Green at 5.00pm on Thursday afternoon. He put my mind at ease on the spot, Russell was on site at 8.00am the next morning to start the process. From that point I did not need to do anything further. Russell and his amazing team handled the entire process from filling in the paperwork, organising elevated drawings and providing all of the relevant documentation needed for the application. My understanding from the council was this process would take 28 days from the time the application was submitted, plus the time to prepare the documentation. This would have taken me at least 2 weeks. From my first phone contact with Russell we had a license approval after 12 days. I could not recommend Russell and his team highly enough. I will be using RG Strategic for many years to come.

Russell and his team assisted our business through council town planning and licensing applications. We were faced with several challenges however RG Strategic overcame these with their knowledge, experience and tenacity. Without RG Strategic we would would be still trying to overcome our challenges years later. I highly recommend Russell and his team for all matters of town planning, consultation, licensing and business strategy support.

Working with Russell on our new project, Larder & Baked no doubt allowed our venture to have its approvals in on time and with minimal hassle. Russell is a wealth of knowledge, super easy to work with and most importantly supportive of all businesses. Big and small. we're already working with RG Strategic on a new licence for our business and look forward to having his skilled expertise on all of our future ventures.
