Hi TPM, Under the Glen Eira Planning Scheme, GRZ1 refers to Neighbourhood Centre Areas, GRZ2 refers to Tram Routes, Main Roads and Residential Transitional Areas and GRZ3 refers to Infill Residential Development Sites. Each of the sub-zones have the same height limit of 10.5m however the GRZ2...

Hi TPM, Your site is located in the General Residential Zone 1 (GRZ1). Fortunately this will allow for a 3 dwelling redevelopment of the site. Glen Eira Council has rezoned much of their Council area as Neighbourhood Residential Zone which places greater restrictions on development. David.

Hi TPM, What is the zoning of the land? Glen Eira was the first Council to introduce the new Residential Zones under the Victorian planning reforms announced in July, so hopefully your architect has ensured that 3 units will still be a possibility given the reformed zones. Cheers, David...

RSVP'd. Looking forward to it. See you all on Thursday. David.

Ponzu, A one into two lot subdivision does not trigger the public open space contribution from the local Council. However, if the site is subject to a Development Contributions Plan Overlay than the applicable fee is per dwelling regardless of subdivision i.e. in Maribyrnong the DCPO fee is...

Generally, You will not be able to erect or place any building, fence or structure etc over the easement, without consent from the regulatory body i.e. Yarra Valley Water or whoever handles this in your area. It will also be important to ensure they would be able to gain easy access to this...

Hi there, I can recommend a builder and architect that work in the Pascoe Vale/ Glenroy area. Would like to discuss the project in more detail to see if they would be a good fit for you. PM if interested and hopefully I can help.

JB, In my opinion, the available space to the rear will be too tight to fit in a second dwelling/granny flat that will comply with the local planning policies in particular POS and car parking. I think the best option out of the three you listed in the original post, would be re-develop...

Hi JB, Granny flats in Victoria require a planning permit as with any second dwelling on a lot unless they are to be used as a Dependant Persons Unit. A DPU does not require a planning permit but must be a temporary structure and used by a dependant of the residents of the main dwelling...

Saibaba, your property would allow for a granny flat to be constructed at the rear of the property. This would require a planning permit from the Council for the second dwelling. The dwelling would need to comply with the Rescode including the neighbourhood character and parking requirements...

Hi Saibaba, Is the granny flat to be used for dual occupancy i.e. rented out to a non-dependant? Victoria has tight regulations on the construction of granny flats and if they are used by a person dependent to the main household and not a temporary structure then a planning permit is required...

Smart, I also need to add that under the recently introduced planning reforms to the residential zones that areas of heritage significance have been identified as areas to be re-zoned as Neighbourhood Residential Zones. This may place restrictions on future development by introducing: - an 8m...

Hi smart, There is definitely scope to develop the rear of your property with in my opinion up to 3 units if design allows for this (single or double storey). Building to the rear of the existing dwelling should not have an impact on the heritage values of the area, which is characterised by...

In your previous thread I did mention to speak to a Council Planner to get their opinion, however whichever drawings you do show them need to comply with the Council's Rescode. As Aaron mentioned above there is no point in having a great building designed that is out of context with the site...

If you PM me the address I'll respond through here with the identifying details removed.

Hi TMNT, I've been forwarded the address and had a quick look into it. Given the topography of the land there is scope for a 3 storey with basement level res development. The max height may be 10m if the gradient of the land is steep enough, although from what information I have available...

With regards to the professional fees I would advise to get in contact with a number a town planners/surveyors for a quote as the prices can often vary substantially. Also take into consideration whether the quote includes responding to information requests and any other additional information...
