Testimonials

We can highly recommend Lance Newley from ELKN.  Lance has consulted and managed the development and construction applications on several of our residential and commercial projects. Lance’s thorough knowledge, experience and connections mean timely answers and resolutions to problems. As projects have evolved, Lance was able to advise the quickest path of action to gain approvals as well as managing modifications along the way. Lance’s knowledge of the local Tweed Shire planning instruments and zoning regulations are second to none. So glad we met Lance when we did and will continue to use and recommend his services.” – GREG AND KATHERINE, CASUARINA NSW

We support our clients at a critical time, being on the verge of large investments, they require additional guidance and support to ensure they get the most from their decisions. We don't take this responsibility lightly.
