Due Diligence & Advice - Michael Ryan Planning

Research; Preliminary Planning Investigations; Due Diligence; Statutory Planning; Feasibility Analysis and Strategic Planning.

Having worked extensively across the NSW planning system for over 30 years, Mike Ryan understands the importance of due diligence at the inception stage and the value it adds to a project’s viability.

Due diligence informs the many players involved in the development process of the opportunities and constraints associated with a project’s risk and ways in which profit margins can be maximised.

An example of a due diligence investigation involved a multi-million dollar Sydney CBD commercial office building earmarked as a future corporate headquarters for a large not-for-profit organisation. On the basis of our preliminary findings our client decided not to purchase the property due to permissibility obstacles and potential for community objection.
