Just based on my reading of the current town planning strategy/document. From memory they're refining their document after a period of public consultation. It will then have to go to the planning commission for approval. Given the potential amalgamation, it may be an item that isn't pushed...

Thanks All. It's an interesting equation. The is no definitive timeline on the rezone, and the amalgamations could influence the proposed changes. Compounding the uncertainty is the need to then get council approval for missing the average lot size requirement. Given the current holding...

Does anyone have any recommendations on a builder for a duplex development?

Thanks Kent. Interesting to consider!

Structerre appear to be a favourite amongst builders. There are some others out there ....try google using the term 'site classification and As2870' which is the australian standard the test is based upon. I'd be interested to hear any thoughts people might have on soil testing and results...

One sold for 403k, the other is under offer but was on the market for some time. There's another full size block with house in the street available for offers from 700k. The blocks lookout onto parklands and there aren't too many neighbours around, so its well set up for the narrow blocks and...

We haven't spoken with cedar, but another builder who builds framed homes. They explained that building brick veneer would save a reasonable amount of costs on site works, but the veneer costs are more expensive than brick. It was explained that a framed home wouldn't be any cheaper as the...

Thanks Invstor. We've been down that path already and not a great outcome.

Keep it coming, I'm learning lots. Biggest issue we'll face is site costs. It would be great to spread these costs over a triplex, rather than a duplex!

The current house is in disrepair and is sinking on one side. Theoretically it could be retained but would require significant work including the removal and relocation of garage. We're leaning towards the typical battle axe development, although I've noted a recent subdivision nearby was...

It was an uneducated guess, conditioned by thoughts of open space requirements and the size of display homes these days. Up until today, our working assumption was that this block was for the family home. I'm now trying to piece together a plan on how to maximise the value of the property...

I missed your question Aaron. I was curious on the cost difference between 3 and 4 bedrooms. I also thought 4*2's would be pretty tight in a triplex development.

Thanks all. Further thinking is required. The property is in Bassendean, so no definite timetable or outcome on the zoning change. It's an interesting dilemma, wait and increase holding costs or proceed with development and kick myself in twelve months on a missed opportunity. Assuming we...

Hi All, First time poster and potentially a reluctant property investor. We?ve recently purchased a 1012sqm (zoned R20) property in Perth with an initial intention of building a family home whilst preserving the ability to subdivide in the future. For a number of reasons we?re now...
