Developer Consultancy & Development Management Reports

Expert Support for Council Submissions and Long-Term Building Success
At Commercial Facility Services, we support developers during the design and planning phases of new residential and mixed-use buildings. Our team provides expert guidance and documentation, including Development Management Reports that meet council requirements and lay the foundation for long-term operational success.
By assisting in the preparation of planning permit documentation, we help accelerate the approval process and present clear, forward-thinking strategies to manage complex operational challenges. These reports demonstrate how a building will be run post-completion and offer confidence that competing objectives can be balanced through practical, well-considered management solutions.
How we support developers
Preparation of development management plans (DMPs)
Tailored plans aligned with local council expectations, focused on facility operations, compliance, waste strategy, access, and sustainability.
Consultation on long-term building operations
Input on how the building will function, caretaking, waste, cleaning, access control, safety systems, to help shape smarter designs.
Planning support and council liaison
Assistance in aligning your submission documents with relevant planning overlays, strata management considerations, and community expectations.
Early-stage facilities advice
Recommendations around concierge locations, service corridors, waste room access, parcel delivery setups, and resident experience.
Smooth handover into management
Once construction is complete, Commercial Facility Services is already briefed and ready to begin caretaking and facility management with no delays or onboarding friction.
Access, parking and visitor management
We help manage the day-to-day flow of vehicles and people across your site. From coordinating car parking and controlling vehicular access to overseeing visitor entry systems, we ensure all access points are secure, functional, and easy to navigate for residents, guests, and contractors alike.
