Statutory Reporting &
Impact Assessments

Notting Hill Advisory prepares the statutory reports and impact assessments that support and defend a development application. From a DA-stage consultation report through to a State Significant Development engagement outcomes report, a Social Impact Assessment, a CPTED report or an Economic Impact Assessment, our documentation is built to be read, scrutinised and accepted by assessing authorities.

Why it matters

Why your statutory documentation matters more than you think

Assessment officers, councillors, panels and ministers all rely on documentation to understand what happened, what the community said, and how the project responded to identified impacts. Vague summaries, missing data, unresolved submissions and inconsistent narratives all undermine confidence. Worse, they create reasons for conditions of consent, deferrals or refusal.
The reports and assessments we prepare are designed to remove those reasons — by being clear, complete, evidentially grounded, and consistent with the rest of the application package.
What we deliver

What we deliver

01

Consultation outcomes reports for state significant and major projects

Guideline-compliant engagement reports including stakeholder mapping, engagement record, issues raised, and response.

02

DA consultation reports

For council-determined applications where a structured consultation record strengthens the assessment.

03

Submissions reports and Response to Submissions documents

Analysis of public exhibition feedback and a documented project response.

04

Engagement outcomes reports

Closing the loop after a community engagement program with a defensible written record.

05

Social Impact Assessments (SIAs)

DPHI-aligned SIAs and Social Impact Statements prepared as part of the statutory documentation package. See our dedicated Social Planning & Impact Assessment service page for the deep-dive.

06

CPTED reports

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design assessments aligned to state police CPTED and Safer by Design frameworks and applicable council guidelines.

07

Economic Impact Assessments (EIAs)

Assessment of construction and operational employment, expenditure flows, fiscal impact, and the effect on the local and regional economy.

08

Engagement record audits

Review of existing project records to identify gaps before they become assessment issues.

09

Coordination with planners and design teams

Ensuring the statutory documentation tells the same story as the SEE and the rest of the package.
Our approach

Our approach

A good statutory report is built throughout the project, not at the end. We work from the start of the engagement program to ensure the data, the stakeholder records and the analysis you’ll need are being captured properly. When it comes time to prepare the report or assessment, we write from evidence — not reconstruct a narrative from incomplete files.
Across SIAs, CPTED and EIAs, we operate with technical specialists where required (crime prevention practitioners, economists with regional input-output modelling capability) so the assessment is credible to the discipline it sits in, not just generically planning-literate.
Who we work with

Who we work with

We are regularly engaged by property developers, government infrastructure agencies, public utilities, urban planning consultancies and project managers. We can run the consultation and prepare the supporting reports end-to-end, or step in to author specific statutory documentation around a program already underway.
Frequently asked

Frequently asked questions

Don’t see your question? Get in touch and we’ll respond within one business day.
Can you write the report if someone else did the engagement?

Yes. We are often engaged to author the statutory consultation or engagement outcomes report based on records prepared by others. We will need access to the underlying records — and we will flag any gaps before we begin.

Yes — prepared to the current guidelines of the relevant state planning authority.
CPTED assessments are commonly required for residential, mixed-use, retail and community facilities in NSW under council DCPs and the NSW Police Safer by Design framework. They assess a proposed design against principles including surveillance, access control, territorial reinforcement, space management and activity support, and recommend design responses where risks are identified.
Typically: construction and operational employment generated, direct and indirect expenditure flows, fiscal impact (rates, taxes and developer contributions), retail or commercial impact on existing businesses, and the broader contribution to the local and regional economy. The scope is tailored to the size and type of the project and what the consent authority needs to see.
We prepare the analysis and the formal Response to Submissions documentation. We do not act as the legal proponent of record — your planner or solicitor remains responsible for lodgement.
Fixed-fee against a defined scope, in most cases. Where scope is uncertain — for example, the volume of public submissions, or a CPTED scope that depends on a design still in flux — we agree a base fee plus a per-submission or per-iteration rate.
