Now that you have decided that you need to object to a DA, before you swoop, it's time to get the lie of the land and inform yourself of what the likely outcome of such a move might be.

A relevant question is - how effective have Creedence Planning Objections been for our clients?

We have kept statistics on the outcomes of every objection job we have been involved in since recommencing trade in 2022.

One point to make, we do not submit objections to development that we cannot find any problems with. All of the objections below were in response to DA's that we considered to be unreasonable in some way.

Councils and Council town planners will react to objections in any number of different ways. Whilst we can guarantee the quality and accuracy of our work, we cannot control the level of professionalism or due diligence that will occur in the field of development assessment in local government. That is up to the individuals concerned. Council planners are always caught in-between the competing interests of applicants and objectors and navigating that conflict can often be difficult and stressful for them. Sometimes, they will simply form a different view that does not align with yours, or ours.

However, as you will see below, in most cases, efforts are made to address the concerns that are raised. We hope this table of DA objection outcomes is useful to you.
