So the proposed rezoning has to be approved first by the local Council then it will be approved at the WAPC which can take 6-12mths after that. WAPC won't do rezonings by themselves, it always has to be initiated by the local Councils.

Depends on the area. But generally all want garages so that their cars are secure. The only place now I see with people building carports into developments is apartments where they are behind an automatic gate etc

Sigh. Just trust me on this. If all the other houses have carports/garages then you need to have one as well. It's a good investment.

Cos it's Perth and your paint will fade and you'll burn your ar$e when you sit down on a seat if it's been in the sun all day :eek:

You can't build on the setback area but you can include it in the exclusive area of the lot and be used for open space calculations. Yes a carport butted up against the house so 2 sides are walls is not included but I get conflicting advice on this.

You can use the setbacks for the calculation So you have 471sqm. You can cover 60% of that with building. 471 x 0.6 = 282.6 Divide that by 3 = 94.2 max per dwelling Things which aren't enclosed on 3 sides are exempt, so a garage is NOT exempt but a carefully designed carport is. Same...

It's a R60 blocks so only 150sqm per block hence the small size villa for going single storey

They won't give you a report but they will tell you what class the soil it - A, H, M etc Besides approx $20k more each in site costs per dwelling in Midland I don't expect them to be more but of course no guarantees, we are comparing 2 areas which are chalk and cheese. For example there is...

That is darn cheap to include a pool. 101 Residential do a pod type second storey so that reduces the cost.

Tsk tsk - you didn't read my post to you :). Ring structerre and see if they have done any geotechnical reports on the street and what class soil type they found. Structerre do most of the soil testing in Perth and will tell you for free over the phone if you ask nicely

Yes, as I said it's mathematically possible, doesn't always mean it's design possible. Things which can prevent designs working: - setbacks eating into your 150sqm so that a design doesn't work (THIS one is a BIG risk as even though the Rcodes say 2m setback the Council MAY have a rule which...

Ummm why didn't you run numbers before buying? You can't back out of a sale because you have found it doesn't make a profit. It is 6 mathematically but I would say 5 is more likely and they would have to be double storey which is expensive and is that what Forrestfield is ready for. You need...

Remember to wait 6-8 weeks after sale as Valuers can only use sales which have settled for their comparables. Good luck!

Sammeee I didn't see this. Congrats!!

I like Ballajura. Very good family suburb. This is the map I have showing the proposed rezoning.

Congrats on the ticket!

Where does GirraDoolaRoo sit with the council amalgamations? I'd be somewhat cautious if a different council is taking over it - or ecstatic if it's a council that is more pro development.

You'd need 880sqm to do 4. So a. Def not c as the extra cost and time will probably not make you anymore money, possibly less than single storey. What you can do with a block that size is a 3 x 2 with theatre or 4 x 2. My Westminster block was a corner 805sqm and I built two of 3 x2 and one...

You could but then you'd 'want' more parking - approx 7 bays instead of 5. If you are near a high frequency bus route then you can get away with less bays but then some units would have no dedicated bay and that is not my cup of tea. Edit: also there is a chance with 4 that you could do it at...

This is plenty!! I have single storey 4 x 2 with 2 living spaces on 300sqm in Gwelup. Check the thread and you can see some designs in there. Where is your block?
