What Our Clients Are Saying

Tim Shelley Planning regularly calls upon the services of Tony Pickup of Pickup Legal to provide advice on a range of town planning issues and to assist our clients in interpreting complex state and local government legislation and planning controls. These issues have ranged from advice on matters such as dwelling entitlements on rural properties and rights to use easements, through to the application of dual floor space ratios across multiple sites to ensure greater development potential and compliance with Council. In all instances, Tony was able to provide prompt, clear and most importantly, understandable plain-English advice that satisfied the relevant Council and ultimately lead to positive outcomes for each of our clients.

Tim Shelley – Director, Tim Shelley Planning
Outcome-based Town Planning Services

Tony has provided legal services to my business clients for a number of years including representation in appeals to the Land and Environment Court of NSW. Tony has a depth of knowledge in environmental law and has a demonstrated success in his representation on planning appeals in the court. I find Tony personable in his dealings. In over 30 years experience as a Town Planner in both local government and now in private practice, I have no hesitation in stating that I hold Tony in high esteem and regularly recommend his legal services​ to clients of my business.

Peter Fryar – Director of Key Urban Planning

Tony was recommended to me by a leading Town Planner. My direct dealings with Tony have been excellent from the day he came on board till now and will continue with him in the future. His greatest strength is his knowledge of the Law and the construction process and how best to get a positive result.

We would recommend Tony Pickup to act on behalf of anyone if they are needing help getting Development Application approved in New South Wales.
