been closely following the City of Newcastle’s updated Development Control Plan (DCP) 2023. This new legislation represents a major shift towards a more sustainable, accessible, and biodiverse future for the city, focusing on stormwater management, accessibility, and biodiversity. By embracing these updates, developers can ensure their projects align with the city’s vision for a greener, more inclusive urban environment. “We’re staying ahead of regulatory changes like the new DCP to ensure our clients are fully compliant and ready for the future,” says Jade. Looking to the future, Jade is optimistic about the growth and opportunities ahead. “We’re really fortunate that innovation is key to our success,” she says. “We’ve heavily invested in developing a client portal that gives our customers more autonomy and access to their project information. This is just one example of how we want to continue evolving.” While Approved is focused on growth, Jade emphasises that their goal isn’t to be the biggest in the industry but to be the best. “We’re not trying to grow so large that we start defining policy at a government level; instead, we aim to contribute positively to local development and enrich the communities in which we live and work,” she says “We want to build a reputation for handling diverse and complex projects, always delivering the highest quality,” she concludes. For builders and developers seeking a reliable, efficient, and trusted partner for their development approval needs, Approved offers a comprehensive, client-centred service. With a proven track record of success, strong relationships with councils, and a focus on sustainability, Approved is set to continue leading the industry. DECEMBER 2024
