Career

Anthony is a founding partner of the Mills Oakley Planning and Environment team. He has specialised in environmental, planning, and local government laws for 20 years. Anthony is renowned for his ability to obtain development approvals for his clients, often via Land and Environment Court proceedings, to facilitate appropriate property development and overcome red tape and delays.

Anthony is an Accredited Local Government and Planning Law Specialist, and is widely recognised as an expert in negotiating all aspects and stages of planning approvals, including rezonings, LEP amendments, and preparing Voluntary Planning Agreements. His wide recognition within the planning and development industry in NSW enables him to effectively represent his clients’ interests in negotiating with government authorities to achieve best possible outcomes.

Anthony’s ability to achieve outstanding results reflects his deep belief that planning laws should be applied flexibly on a case-by-case basis, rather than a ‘tick-the-box’ approach requiring strict numerical compliance for compliances’ sake.
