Which suburbs in Sydney have development activity more centred towards subdividing for the purposes of knock down and building/selling small lot two story homes as opposed to units I'm new to the Sydney market but have experience in this type of development within 7-10 kms of the Brisbane CBD...

Overland flow Does anyone have more information on the impact of overland flow on subdivision applications? After some research, I've noticed there are additional requirements to address namely: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/CP/FloodPSP#RequirementsReconfiguringLot...

http://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-offices-vic-leongatha-500808483 Sold for under 1 mil, not exactly a 15 year lease and a bit remote. I'm hoping small Government Department shopfronts in urban/suburban areas may meet this criteria. Although 15 years may be a bit unrealistic, I have...

Hi all, I'm interested in making the transition from resiential to commercial property. In your experience, If I were to find a property around 1 mil, with a good secure government tenant, eg 15 years with yields of 5.5 to 7 per cent, would a financier provide, or be more likely provide...

Hi all, Does anyone know about/have any experience getting council approval for a driveway close to a bus stop in Brisbane and Logan Qld? Is it possible to pay council to move the bus stop if standard setback requirements are not met. This would be for a subdivision into two lots with 10 metre...

Any users of Ebimap mapping services by Brisbane City Council? I just did a search of a property and it states "Danger! AC material may be present" along with a red line across the frontage of the property Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks for the responses. The site slopes downwards, so I'm guessing additional drainage issues would have to be sorted as well. The design I was looking at is a two story small lot home. Although I think a detachable queenslander house might be more cost effective.

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has built on a slope and would like to share info on the additional cost incurred. I'm looking at a property that has an approx 30 degree slope. Is it reasonable to allocate 30k to 60 k for additional site costs?

Found it. Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking into developing some parts of my street. I'm wondering whether anyone has tried approaching home owners and asking them if they want to sell. Has it worked, are their better approaches?

Thanks for the responses.

Hi all, I've recently purchased a property in Brisbane (Southside) straddled across two lots. The first lot has access to sewerage. The sewerage line must be extended an additional 10 metres to enable access to the second lot. Urban Utilities has provided me with 3 options (with quotes). The...
