Two-Year Extension Approved for Worongary Subdivision

We’re pleased to have recently secured approval for a two-year extension to the currency period of a Reconfiguring a Lot (ROL) development approval in Worongary, Queensland.

Development approvals don’t always progress to construction as quickly as anticipated. This project had encountered unforeseen delays in progressing the required civil works, including challenges in securing contractor availability within the original approval timeframe. Rather than risk the approval lapsing, we worked closely with the client to prepare and support an application to extend the currency period.

The extension was successfully approved by Gold Coast City Council, providing our client with valuable additional time to deliver the outstanding infrastructure works and progress the subdivision without the need to pursue a new development application.

This outcome highlights the importance of proactively reviewing approval timeframes and taking action before an approval expires. In the right circumstances, a currency period extension can provide a practical pathway to maintain development rights and project momentum.

Congratulations to our client on achieving this positive outcome, and we look forward to seeing the project move through to completion.

I would like to thank you for your services with the two site visits to my property to identify the property boundary over the last two weeks.

I’d like to provide some feedback, in that you were both were really helpful, professional and communicative through the process, and I appreciated you talking me through some of the observations/findings whilst you were here.

Impressed with Arnold Development Consultant high level of service and proactive approach.

We engaged Arnold Development Consultants to do the survey work for our subdivision and have been impressed with their high level of service and proactive approach not only doing the survey work, but seeing the lot sealing process through to its completion. They were always willing to go above and beyond and we really appreciated their experience and guidance through this process. You have been fantastic and we will definitely be back for future survey work.
