Types of clients we assist with!

Types of developments we assist with!

Sydney is experiencing a development boom over the last three years and the boom continues despite the interest rate rise. Savy property developers are maximising on their developments while there is a lull in sales so that once the sale prices rise again they will be on the front foot. Below is an example of some of the development types we assist with for their approvals!

Dwelling House

Our top enquiry is in relation to a dwelling house and how to push the envelope on the development potential. . We have helped many of our clients get the home of their dreams despite height limits and floor space ratio restrictions.

Multi Dwelling Houses

Why build 2 houses when you could build 4! Multi dwelling housing, also known as terrace housing or town houses, allows you to build multiple dwellings on the one lot and then subdivide through strata subdivision.

Shop Top Housing

Shop top housing is a popular development type for developments on the fringe of the zones and for other sites that want to take advantage of their development standards.

Dual Occupancy

Every other general enquiry we receive is in regard to whether a Dual occupancy is permissible for their site. This is a council specific enquiry and we are more than happy to assist our clients with their concerns!

Boarding Houses

Boarding Houses are very popular for developers. The SEPP Affordable rental housing developers allow high density studio apartments for lower income residents. With new government changes imminent, developers are fast tracking their boarding house developments.

Subdivision

Subdivision has become an easy access to money for many first time developers who wish to maximise on their return while the prices are still high! Many of our clients are taking advantage of generous minimum lot sizes and subdividing their properties into two or more lots.

Change of Use

We commonly help our clients get approval for their new business premises. Whether it is a new trendy clothing store, a new restaurant or a Boutique Beer Bar, we can help get your approval!

Rezoning - Planning Proposals

Sometimes our clients come to us with plans to rezone land to allow for better outcomes for their site. Whether it is turning rural land into residential or low density to high density.

Objection Letters

One of our most popular services! View loss and privacy impacts are the biggest source of objection for all developments. Our objection letters are thorough and detailed and we have a good track record for refusal or at least forcing the developer to redesign for a better outcome.
