During his career he was responsible for the assessment and subsequent determination of applications, and for the last 12 years, the preparation and submission of applications.

- CPDS has had over 200 applications determined via the NSW Planning Portal process since its introduction. This knowledge and experience will work for you.
- While having been based in the Upper Hunter area for many years – CPDS has lodged applications all over NSW and is more than happy to discuss proposals and the type of assistance that can be offered for any Local Government Area in NSW.
