Development & Project Management
“You’ll know you’re in good hands!.”
At Evercon we oversee every stage of design delivery with precision, mitigating delays and cost overruns by limiting variations during the delivery phase. Our flexibility and integrated project management model ensures superior coordination of professional teams, stakeholders, contractors and suppliers — from mobilisation to handover.
Evercon’s development and project management expertise spans Newcastle and Regional NSW, delivering end-to-end design & construct and D&C builder solutions.
Our Development Managers lead feasibility studies, land-use approvals and funding negotiations, while our Project Managers enforce robust cost control, program scheduling and risk mitigation.
We integrate consultant coordination, early-contractor involvement and stakeholder engagement to streamline your project lifecycle—from DA lodgement through to practical completion. With real-time reporting, milestone tracking and proactive issue resolution, Evercon ensures your build hits every budget, quality and timeline target.
Key Considerations in the Development & Approvals Phase
Understand Zoning & Planning Overlays
Review local council planning instruments, heritage listings and environmental overlays up front. Early clarity on permitted uses, height limits and setbacks prevents costly redesigns.
Choose the Right Approval Pathway
Determine whether your project fits a CDC (Complying Development Certificate) or requires a full DA (Development Application). CDCs can shave weeks off timeframes—but only if your scope aligns perfectly with the code.
Factor Infrastructure Contributions & Levies
Councils and utilities often charge Section 7.11 (or 7.12) contributions, DC levies and headworks charges. Build these into your budget and cashflow model to avoid funding gaps at lodgement.
Early Stakeholder & Community Engagement
For larger or sensitive sites, plan your community consultation early. Proactive engagement with neighbours, precinct committees or First Nations groups can smooth DA pathways and reduce objection risks.
Scope Specialist Studies & Reports
Depending on your site, you may need bushfire assessments, traffic studies, acoustic reports or arborist reports. Identifying these requirements at feasibility stage prevents last-minute lodgement delays.
Coordinate Consultants & Timelines
Lock in your architectural, civil, traffic, landscape and ESD consultants in a single program—ideally under a multi-discipline team meeting schedule—to keep design coordination tight and approvals on track.
Align Funding Milestones with Approvals
Structure your finance drawdown or JV funding tranches around key gates: Concept Approval, DA/CDC submission, Construction Certificate, Practical Completion. That way your cashflow always matches your obligations.
