We will complete and submit your Development Application Form to include:

Add value to your property
The Development Approval Process can be frustrating and time consuming, even for most experienced property investors.
We bring over 25 years experience in property development, ranging from small renovations to complex, multi-million dollar projects.
We have strong relationships with local councils and private certifiers.
We understand:
- whether your proposed development meets requirements for DA or a Complying Development Certificate (CDC)
- how the local plans, codes and policies could affect your development,
- the complete costs and timeframe.
We can assist you on your whether you:
- want to ensure that a proposed development is feasible,
- are having issues with your local council getting your designs through, or
- are seeking a fully managed, transparent development process
We ensure that you are protected contractually to limit cost blowouts, time delays and unnecessary surprises. This allows you to enjoy the development process, get the result you want, and have the energy to do it all again.
Satisfied clients
"When I wanted a recommendation of where to buy my home, I asked Neal and got an answer that no-one else was giving. Three years later the property Neal recommended (which was very different to what we thought we should be buying) has risen in value over 70%. He really knows his stuff."
"White Gorilla took care of every part of the purchase of my property. I simply outlined my budget and his team short listed potential development sites.
I selected the site then all the paperwork was taken care of. They designed the new townhouses that would maximise profit returns. They lodged plans, chased councils and did an exceptional job completing the townhouses on time and on budget. For a busy executive like myself it made developing the site a joy."
