Service Stations and Car Washes

Service stations and car washes.

Statutory planning for service stations, car washes and convenience retail across Victoria, from site assessment and pre-application through to obtaining a planning permit and endorsed plans.

Overview

Planning advice and strategy, grounded beyond planning.

S4 is a development and project management practice, in addition to providing statutory planning services. When you engage us, you have access to people who also manage the acquisition, design, construction and funding of a range of property developments.

Every recommendation is made with the whole project in view, from the first conversation with council to the day the project is complete.

Permit and Assessment

Access, operation and amenity.

Service stations and car washes are assessed with particular regard to vehicle access and traffic, the operation of the site and its relationship to adjoining land. We prepare applications that address these matters from the outset, coordinating traffic, acoustic, lighting and environmental advice into a single, considered submission to the responsible authority and the road authority.

Our experience across development and project management informs the layout of forecourt, canopy, retail and wash facilities, and the matters that shape a viable site, from pre-application through to endorsed plans.
