  • “Our directors appointed Augusta Advisors to act on our behalf in maximising the return from the Club’s property portfolio. Augusta understands club property and has been a good advisor for the Club.

    Augusta provided the club with a development strategy report which was crucial to achieving the optimum result for the Club.

    The result was the Club appointed a great development partner with a sound commercial return.

    We would never consider taking on this project without the professional assistance and guidance from Augusta Advisors.”

    Tony Lycakis, General Manager, Mortdale RSL Community Club

  • “I would like to express my thanks for the great support that was received throughout the entire process from Augusta Advisors.

    To me, it was clear that Augusta was extremely knowledgeable as to the construction and negotiation of a development agreement. Both I and our mutual client benefited from having Augusta on board and involved throughout the process.

    I will be recommending Augusta’s services and also look forward to us working collaboratively on the next project.”

    John Fairgray, Partner, BBW Lawyers

  • “Augusta supported us and then helped us to complete the lengthy and complicated negotiations, to the point where in late July this year, we signed the Development Management Agreement.

    They’ve always acted in our best interest with our constituency and with developers. In this situation, the best risk mitigation one can have is to ensure that you have the best advice you can get and rely on. And we did this with Augusta.

    I suppose the best reference I could give, is that would I hire Augusta again? The answer is a resounding yes, and in fact, Augusta is supporting us to the completion of this development, and we have engaged them in another project for one of our local churches.

    I commend them to you.”

    Eva Ing, Chief Financial Officer, Greater Sydney Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church

  • “The advice proved to be very good value for money for several reasons:

    Augusta alerted us to a valuable opportunity;

    Advised us on the best course of action; and

    Secured a very good result for us in representing us in negotiations with developers.

    Augusta clearly has a great deal of experience and expertise in successfully advising landowners about property and development. We found them proactive, trustworthy, and reliable, and would definitely choose to work with Augusta again.”
