How Can Our Illawarra Planning & Environmental Lawyers Help?
Kells’ local government, planning and environmental law team provides legal advice and services to assist people, corporations and government agencies in respect of local government, planning and environmental law matters. We offer our services to clients in Wollongong and across the Illawarra.
There are many challenges in the complex and highly regulated development industry and we work closely for and with many local government planning authorities and statutory bodies, which means we have an intimate understanding of their decision-making processes and objectives.
This provides us with a competitive advantage when either acting for such authorities or for developers seeking approval from such authorities.

We assist local Councils with governance issues, regulatory functions, compulsory acquisitions, environmental protection, enforcement, and more.
