Strategic Advice

strategic advice

Over almost 50 years and with a large, talented team, CLE Town Planning + Design has established itself as industry leaders with an immense reservoir of knowledge, understanding and wisdom.

We are expert in working with a planning system that is complex and constantly evolving.

CLE regularly provides expert insights and feedback into proposed planning reforms, directly and through our industry advocacy partners.

We are well-positioned and skilled in assisting with Due Diligence processes and explaining new policy and its implications for clients and their projects.

urban growth monitor

Two separate clients, keen to develop land in the north-east and south-west corridors for residential purposes, called upon CLE to review the WAPC’s Urban Growth Monitor (UGM) and, in particular, the meaning of “land supply’ in that context.

It required the application of a critical planning lens to determine whether our clients’ land could be developed as they wished, and factors relevant to the timing and ability to deliver the land.

social housing

The Social Housing Economic Recovery Package was part of a $444 State Government housing stimulus program released in mid-2020.

CLE was engaged by the Department of Communities to undertake due diligence to inform the acquisition of strategic sites across metropolitan Perth, to be earmarked for social housing.

r-codes practice notes

When the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage was introducing new R-Codes, it called upon CLE’s experience in interpreting and implementing the R-Codes to provide the first iteration of the R-Codes Practice Notes.

These notes, designed for planning practitioners, designers and homeowners, included textual and diagrammatic clarification of the most commonly misinterpreted and debated R-Code standards.
