I totally agree boeman. Enough room to have a bbq and beer outside, a pet, and if you're a tradie somewhere to keep your tools.

Most of them will talk about diversity in housing, affordability in housing etc etc

Jezza speak English!! Ok so I'm assuming you are talking about an R20 block, yes? No you can't have 5% variation on top. An 850sqm R20 block could create 3 single bedroom dwellings. You need 233 per dwelling, then you create a dwelling which is 70sqm on that 233sqm.

Extreme kudos to you for realising the potential to stack NRAS on top Vassago. Winner, winner, chicken, dinner. Is there any reason in particular you didn't go the full 70sqm for your development or does the Council only allow 60qm there?

This is the best policy I have seen written so far - from what I can see nothing is over or under the RCodes http://www.cockburn.wa.gov.au/documents/councildoc/policies/policy_statements/planningdevelop_serv/apd56.pdf And yes they do talk about having a mixture of single and normal.

Please watch out if you want to put them behind something. You need the 'effective' lot size to meet the criteria - so can't use common driveways to help meet it BTW I have previously spoken to a town planner at another council and they didn't understand it at all. It is a rarely used part of...

Agreed. I think by having them as over 55s you really reduce your market though. Single Bedroom dwellings can be sold to anyone so instantly your market is WAY more - first home buyers, singles, divorcees, people with fur kids, retirees, downsizers etc etc

the 5% thing I get but the whole complex must be single bedroom dwellings I don't think is right. Perhaps it's a Joondalup thing Whilst I haven't seen them I have heard of places where they mix normal with SBDs. Very interesting.

More Single Bedroom Dwelling news. Some of these aren't actually under the Single Bedroom Dwelling density bonus and some are. $299k in Gosnells http://www.realestate.com.au/property-villa-wa-gosnells-118548239 $355k in Clarkson...

Tell you what makes the 1 bedders I have proposed be built in the Avenues of Maylands look like very good value! I conservatively valued them at $475k

Not turnkey and not double storey Ausprop. A basic one is probably about $100k like the ones which they are building in Baldivis. A mid spec one is about $125k and will include a study and be the full 70sqm. A fancy one like those which are 1 bedroom plus study and 2 storey with a...

There is some being built in Baldivis and Forrestfield. But they are pretty cheap ones. Cost for a nice single storey turnkey would be about $125-150k For something like that it would be more in the $150-175 range with the double garage and 2 storey. A simplish 2 storey one can be done for...

Here are some links to single bedroom dwellings that are for sale. There are many of them in the inner city area and are a popular choice and fetch good prices. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-west+perth-116924455...

Some interesting fuel to the idea. I don't know the selling price but I've been watching this listing with interest to see if it sold. It is one of the few ones I've ever seen in Perth. http://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-wa-perth-114522819 If it did get more than $589k it's awesome :)

Plus their cat or dog :D

Well 70sqm is actually plenty for a 2bd x 2bath apartment :) So I'm thinking that you have one of those bedrooms joined to the living area so that it's a dining room or theatre with double cavity slider or something like that. Just needs some imagination :D This is the ground floor of...

I think there would be a market for it - but it definitely would take a lot of DD. I'm tossing up whether better to do it on higher density or lower. I've been musing it. I was looking at a larger block the other day which could have done 3 blocks and one single dwelling block. At 70sqm...
