Fast Track inhouse town planning permits & building permits
We have a proven process to cut through red tape with our inhouse planning & building permit team, removing delays & ensuring full compliance and insurance for your building.
Our inhouse studio collaborates from the first step of the design process, ensuring each stage is fully compliant so that final permit approval is merely a formality. This removes cost surprises from additional compliance requirements being called up during the project, and time delays, and ensures certificate of permitted use at the project completion. This gives full peace of mind of for insurance eligibility for your building or tenancy into the future.
We’ve worked on over 50 medical centre projects and have dedicated town planners & designers that specialise in medical practice permit applications. We have an impressive track record of pulling ‘stuck’ medical practice town planning permits out of the council and resubmitting for quick approval by resolving the application strategically.
Medical Planning Permits & Office Planning Permits
A medical centre fitout will require a medical practice planning permit if the relevant land under the planning scheme specifies that a medical centre requires a permit. That said there are special considerations that or team navigates to guarantee the outcome with minimal application processing time. With our inhouse medical planning process, a medical practice permit approval in Melbourne can take as little as 4 weeks. This is a dramatically reduced timeframe compared to the industry average.
Additionally we specialise in successful planning permits that exclude onerous conditions that could make the project unviable. We navigate the pathway to maximise practioner numbers and the most favourable car parking requirements specific to the medical practice location.
Office Fitout Planning Permits are required where a change of use requires council approval for the new intended use. A strategic application is critical to achieving a successful approval without onerous conditions or a long process with no guarantee of a successful outcome.
Medical Building Permits & Office Building Permits
All medical fitout building project works require a building permit, and office fitout building works.
Our inhouse building permit process takes from 7 days, which is significantly quicker than the industry standard for medical practice permits and office fitout building permits in Melbourne.
Our expertise includes a strategic knowledge of all building regulatory requirements including heritage overlays, fire access and regulatory standards, disability access compliance, town planning change of use, carpark and stormwater design – in fact all aspects of construction and engineering for both internal and external building compliance.
Case Study: Latrobe Medical Precinct - Traralgon
6 months of Town Planning complexities had ground the vision for this Medical Centre to a halt.
The Icon studio was then engaged to review the existing Town Planning application. The Icon inhouse town planning team conducted a rapid and thorough review, and made the decision to withdraw the long-standing application. With a new & strategic application being prepared and submitted to the Latrobe City Council, full Town Planning permit approval was granted within 5 weeks.
Additional to the rapid speed of Town Planning approval, Icon increased the application number of consulting doctors from 2 in the original application, increasing it to 9 and was successfully approved. An extraordinary outcome and dramatically increased revenue generating Medical Centre for the stakeholders.
We really don’t know how it happened, but it was just so quick
Given the compliance challenges of the tenancy, achieving 9 fee earning consulting doctors in the town planning permit was extraordinary. To facilitate this return on investment opportunity, the Icon studio reengineered the original architect drawn floorplan with genius space utilisation, to accommodate the dramatically increased consulting capacity.
