Landscape plans that meet estate and local council guidelines
MUD is a team of professional landscape designers who are qualified to complete landscape plans for developers, council and CDC approvals throughout Newcastle and the Hunter.
If you’re building a new home in a residential development or planning to build in an established area, you’ll likely need to provide a landscape plan to your developer and your local council.
Our strong understanding of both estate developer and local council guidelines will help you navigate the process more easily.
Landscape plans are designed to show developers or local government that your plans meet their design guidelines. Most developers have design requirements that ensure each property matches the overall character and design of the neighbourhood. Before your builder can submit your DA approval to Council or CDC, you will need approval from the developers of your estate. If your estate has design guidelines to adhere to, the developers will need to ensure your home meets the design guidelines, as well as the DCP (Development Control Plan), which is set out by the Council, before giving their stamp of approval.
We live and work within the Hunter Region so you can be assured your landscape plan will be designed to thrive in your local environment.
Plus, with our knowledge of council guidelines throughout the Hunter, we include everything you’ll need for a successful application.

A Landscape DA plan is Landscape documentation that is submitted to the Council or developers for approval. It provides information that states a case that the proposed development will be in accordance with all relevant environmental legislation. It is required to ensure the minimum requirements of energy efficiency are met and the minimum requirements of Landscapes are met.
The objective of the landscape plan is to show the approving Council your design intent, proposed layout of landscape works, surface treatment, and that it adheres to all environmental legislation as per the Council’s Development Control Plan (DCP). This will come in the form of a Landscape Plan.
