Hi Matt,
I'll do some research and get back to everyone.  Variety of different ways to find an expert in this area.
Cheers,
Craig

Hi Craig,

  Do you know anyone that might be a specialist and that has experience with this type of DA. I know of some good architects but they really would only be useful to do renderings of the views and that sort of thing. Perhaps to do the fight might be more in the realm of a solicitor. I dont have any experience in that area.

Matt.
