Government Relations and Advocacy
At various points in the project development process, there may be opportunities to discuss your project with key decision-makers. At these times, having a respected adviser on your side who understands how they think can be invaluable.

I've engaged Russell from RG Strategic to assist with Development Approval for 3 projects and it has helped me increase the speed of approval while delivering overall cost savings. Russell has vast experience navigating Town Planning in Noosa and whether you need help with a Development Application for a commercial or residential building through to the complexities of Food Standards Approvals he will be able to assist. His fee structure is transparent and predictable and his advice is always spot on.

Russell and his team at RG Strategic are the epitome of professionalism. I have, on several occasions, required Town planning and development advice both for myself and clients, Russell always provides advice in a succinct and timely manner. His ability to see outside the box, particularly where there may be potential grey areas, his extensive knowledge, understanding of council requirements and determination to do the best for his clients make him an extremely valuable resource. I have no hesitation in referring clients to RG Strategic, knowing they will always be well looked after. Russell thank you, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

A great big thank you to Russell Green and all the guys at RG Strategic. The result you achieved for us with our complex town planning issue was exceptional. In obtaining the approvals for our restaurant refurbishment and outside area cover we will be in a position to be able to offer our patrons a much more comfortable dining experience. It was reassuring for us to have a town planning consultant with such a complete knowledge of the food/beverage and hospitality industries as well as a thorough understanding of all the technical aspects required to meet Noosa Council's strict approvals process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Russell and the team to anyone who requires planning or compliance services, particularly food premises in the Sunshine Coast or Noosa area. Once again thanks, Russell.
