From problem site to a development winner
May 25, 2020
When Bounce Noosa Hostel was looking for a Town Planner to help them develop a prospect site in Noosaville, they turned to RG Strategic to help solve what had proved too big a challenge for others.
I’m a great believer you engage an expert to achieve outstanding results. I engaged Russell Green of RG Strategic for external and internal alterations to my Noosaville property. Russell’s experience in Town Planning, Council requirements and codes, Strata rules and By-Laws, plus his wealth of building knowledge all contributed to approval of my project, first time around. I’ve already recommended Russell and his team to clients and friends wishing to plan and execute building works.

We engaged RG Strategic to help us with our liquor licence and food licence for our new venue Flo's Creperie in Mooloolaba. Having worked with Russell, Maree and Tracey during the launch of our Noosa venue, we already knew they were a highly professional and knowledgeable team. This time, however, they really went above and beyond, performing a few miracles along the way to ensure we opened up on time. We couldn't be more grateful for their arduous work and commitment. I highly recommend RG Strategic to anyone who needs assistance with planning matters, and I look forward to working with them again in future!

Russell is an absolute master of all things Noosa. To understand the in's and out's of the system such as he does, takes years of time in the game and Russell has it in spades. Do not hesitate to ask for his help. Thanks a lot Rus!

Cannot rate Russell's advice more highly. Cut to the core of the issue quickly, was incredibly responsive to our needs and could not have been more helpful. Highly recommend!
