Don't think Council has a problem with the double garages, rather how they (in their opinion) dominate the streetscape.

Following... Good luck dealing with the planners, ghastly folk. You Could think about staggering the line of the two garages and try to recess a little further behind the front wall. A little tinkering, appropriate use of colours/materials and photos of similar outcomes in your area should...

What were your per lot figures like Dave? 40k per lot is often considered very good, you must have picked a winner!

Generally the planning provisions in Victoria are not this prescriptive. The amount of units possible on your site will be dependent upon the design response and how this responds to both ResCode and neighbourhood character. Just a word of warning, three is not always the most profitable...

Attempted hijacking... Suggest you start a new thread.

Could be onto a winner... http://www.surfcoasttimes.com.au/news/community/2014/04/03/big-plans-to-grow-winchelsea/ I would be looking at Council's (Surf Coast) strategic plan for the area, i.e. where is growth going to occur, what type of housing is to be encouraged and importantly, which...

Would you like us to guess which town it is?

Hi Kevin You will need to demonstrate that the new lot can accommodate a building and wastewater envelope. This is something that will need to be demonstrated within your town planning submission. The actual installation of the septic/wastewater system and disposal field would be...

Subdivision looks do-able, your biggest hurdle will be whether the second lot is suitable to accommodate another septic system. Costs for subdivision would include... Council permit fee - $386 Town planning (prep report and preliminary plans) - $1,500 + Land capability assessment - $1,500 +...

Before getting to far down the track it would be worthwhile to check if any overlays affect the land. Two to be wary of in your situation would be Environmental Significance and Bushfire Management. Often we find that subdivision just is not possible, even though a landowner may meet the minimum...

Interesting site and neighbourhood. Zoned R1Z with the only overlay being a development contributions plan. After a quick skim there is a local policy for land adjacent to the rail corridor... Precinct L: Taunton Avenue East It is policy to: achieve higher density residential development...

Don't think that old house would be adding too much value to the property :)

Drop the asking rent? Maybe your not meeting the market, dropping the rent a few dollars per week wont hit your bottom line as much as another 3-4 weeks of an untenanted property will.

Current zoning is R1Z? And after the deadline it will be GRZ yea? This is not a radical shift, are any other changes to the PS proposed?

Don't think this scenario is applicable to Bendigo - 110,000 population, projected to add another 35,000 by 2031 - don't think a couple of estates in Ascot will make a huge dint to rental prospects...

Also weigh in the time associated with obtaining a new permit and set of endorsed plans... Should also note that you can apply for an extension of time for the permit 6 months after the expiry date - however check with the particular Council and expiry condition.

A good laymans guide to the basic rescode provisions are found here... http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/word_doc/0006/41775/Understanding_the_residential_development_standards_VPP_PN.doc Bit old now, but gives a good overview behind the rationale and method of calculating the various...

Res 1, no overlays... good start. There are certainly units and infill development in the local area, although fairly modest. Roughly 220m2 or so of development land at the rear of the site if the OP were to keep the house with a 5m deep clear to sky backyard. Aerial below...

What's the site width at say the location of the shed? You also need to review the basics as well, check zone/overlays and the local policy in the planning scheme for a neighborhood character study.

Yeah You would think so, asked the question as I had three instances last week where the budding developer forgot about the subdivision component of the permit!
