RG Strategic
Steering your town planning, liquor licensing or tourism project through concept, development and approval can seem slow and frustrating - but it doesn't have to be that way. Taking time away to prepare and submit government applications, research and engage local stakeholders, or develop short- and long-term strategies means time away from doing what you do best.

Imagine having a team of expert consultants in your corner who can give you back this time. A team that can steer your project from concept and development to approval and implementation. A team of proven professionals who understand the process of town planning, liquor licensing, local government procedures, as well as stakeholder engagement and advocacy.
Services
Founded by Russell Green in 2014, RG Strategic is a full-service business strategy consultancy specialising in town planning, liquor licensing, tourism and events, as well as advocacy and government relations. Our clients work in a variety of industries, from cafs and restaurants to retail, accommodation, and office spaces.
A common challenge for those with town planning or development projects is navigating government planning schemes and the application process. It's time-consuming and requires a thorough understanding of the industry language, appropriate forms, and necessary timelines.

The complexity of these processes is similar across all local governments, whether you're submitting a development application on the Sunshine Coast or Noosa, appealing a planning decision in Townsville, or conducting an environmental impact study in Sydney, Brisbane or Sippy Downs.RG Strategic can assist with your town planning and development applications throughout Queensland and interstate.
In the hospitality industry it is important to work with professionals who cover off on all elements. Russell's experience and attention to detail with Liquor Licensing and Food Premises made him the only choice when we were establishing Sum Yung Guys.

When investing in establishing your restaurant, hotel, caf, or bar, it is essential to have experienced consultants look after your licensing requirements for both your liquor licence and food premises permit.The licensing legislation and process can be elaborate and confusing, whether you're in Noosa, the growing Sunshine Coast and Maroochydore areas or well-established Brisbane.
The experienced team at RG Strategic take the risk and the hassle out of your Queensland liquor licensing requirements so you can get on with the things that matter. RG Strategic's proven systems, expertise and knowledge of OLGR procedures and town planning requirements ensure a hassle-free and importantly, complete and accurate application process for even the most complex requirements.
We used Russell and the RG Strategic team to get our liquor license for our new coffee roasters in Yandina. We couldn't recommend them enough. We received our liquor license in a fantastic timeframe and it really took the hassle out of a hard process. Do yourself a favour and get RG Strategic out to your venue.

I engaged the services of RG Strategic to help with a unique council development application, Russell and his team came highly recommended. To say that I was impressed with Russell's professionalism, attention to detail and his knowledge of the process is an understatement. At one stage my application was not looking great, this is when Russell really pulled out all stops to ensure that my application got across the line. It was subsequently voted through 6-1 at a council meeting. I would highly recommend Russell, Tracey ,Maree and the rest of the team at RG Strategic. Thanks Russell.

The prompt advice and expertise of the RG Strategic team at the town planning stage, has allowed us to push forward with our developments far quicker than we had expected, through a far shorter Council approval process, and this has resulted in significant cost savings. This prompt and valuable advice has extended to the operational works and hydraulics requirements of the development, and we look forward to a long relationship with RG Strategic.

Russell and the Team at RG Strategic went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and efficient application and approval process on our townhouse development in Cooroy. Russell helped solve significant stormwater issues by coordinating meetings and correspondence with the Councils engineering team ultimately leading to operation works approval far quicker than our program allowed for. I highly recommend Russell to anyone seeking planning advice on the Sunshine Coast.

Whenever we have any issues regarding the town plan, council applications or just precise, accurate advice regarding general town planning issues, I reach for the phone to contact Russell. He has been a tower of strength for us, when building our factory/studio complex, as well as many other projects before and since. I wouldn't dream of trying to do any of this work without his invaluable input.

I contacted Russell to assist with my business application for my new fitness studio and I couldn't be happier! The process council put in place wasn't the easiest to understand, but Russell took charge and… made the whole application a stress free process! Even after approval was granted, he still keeps in touch to make sure we're doing ok. I would highly recommend you speak to Russell at RG Strategic when looking for business approval.
