I have contracted Russell Green for planning matters during the past 8 years. Russell and his team are very knowledgeable and professional. They provide a thorough and effective service managing council applications. The approvals process can be stressful and costly - Russell and his team absorb a lot of the stress. They communicate well so you can sleep at night! I am happy to recommend RG Strategic.

Russell and his team at RG Strategic are the epitome of professionalism. I have, on several occasions, required Town planning and development advice both for myself and clients, Russell always provides advice in a succinct and timely manner. His ability to see outside the box, particularly where there may be potential grey areas, his extensive knowledge, understanding of council requirements and determination to do the best for his clients make him an extremely valuable resource. I have no hesitation in referring clients to RG Strategic, knowing they will always be well looked after. Russell thank you, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Town Planning Advice - Boreen Point
Russell and the team at RG Strategic were amazing throughout our whole Development Application with council. To be honest, I don't think we would have even made the move to our new premises with how daunting a Material Change of Use Application is. We are experts in human movement, not this stuff, so we are super grateful these guys made the process seamless and also speedy! Council told us a 3-5 month application process and these guys got it in right on the 3 month mark for us! Thanks for your patience and professionalism guys! We appreciate it more than words can say.
