Unlock the True Potential of Your Land

Rezoning land can dramatically increase its development potential — and its value. But it’s a complex process involving local councils, the NSW Department of Planning, and sometimes community and political stakeholders. At Deep River, we specialise in navigating this process for developers and landowners who want real results, not red tape.

Our Rezoning Services

We offer end-to-end management of the Planning Proposal process, including:

  • Strategic Town Planning Advice
    Early feasibility, site analysis, and planning justification to assess the likelihood of success before you commit.
  • Preparation of Planning Proposal Documents
    We draft compelling, compliant documents tailored to council and NSW Government expectations — not generic templates.
  • Project Management of the Rezoning Process
    We coordinate planning reports, technical studies (traffic, heritage, flood, etc.), and handle all lodgement requirements.
  • Council & Government Liaison
    We act as your representative in all negotiations — with local councils, the NSW Department of Planning, Transport for NSW, and other authorities.
  • Rezoning Pathway Strategy
    Advice on whether to pursue a site-specific Planning Proposal, LEP amendment, or alternative uplift strategy.

With more than two decades of success, we know the path forward.

What Is a Rezoning Application (Planning Proposal)?

In NSW, rezoning is initiated through a Planning Proposal — a formal request to change the planning controls that apply to a piece of land. This might mean shifting from rural to residential, increasing permissible building heights or floor space, or introducing new land uses altogether.

To get a rezoning approved, you need to demonstrate strategic merit, community benefit, and compliance with local and state planning frameworks. That’s where we come in.
