Expert Witness
Development Impact Assessment
We were engaged by North Sydney Council to act as Expert Witness, on 2 separate occasions for this site. The site is heavily constrained by slope, stormwater drainage easements, adjoining bushland and existing trees.
The ambitious development applications sought to build residential units with basement carparking. Due to the challenging site, extensive excavation was required and we undertook a detailed analysis of the construction methods, engineering details and site plans.
We participated in the joint witness conferencing in order to prepare the joint witness statements. We then were required to attend the Land and Environment Court to provide sworn testimony in relation to the expert opinions provided in relation to the matter.
Scope:
- Residential Unit Building Development
- Review of Statement of Facts and Contentions
- Arboricultural Impact Assessment
- Joint Witness Report preparation
- Attend Land and Environment and cross examined as expert witness
