hi everyone
im looking at a site in blue chip melbourne, for apartments
its zone 1 resi, there is moderate development going into the area, but are either all or high majority town houses etc.
im looking at a level apartment block,
I spoke to council and I told them what I had in mind, and they said, as long as it fits into the area, as long as its not more then 3 stores high, and 9m high according to the guidelines, they cant see anything in the rules that would rule it out,
my architect has suggested having a meeting with them even with hand drawn plans to get an indication,
Is this teh best way to go, and what would be my biggest challenge, as even the council does say, my verbal plans dont seem to contravene any existing rules/legislations,
I have plans from another site which was a 4 floor apartment block , and was thinking of taking them in and saying "im planning to build this identical however without the 4th floor"
my obvious biggest concern is buying/considering this block of land and then finding out or eventuating that its worth nothing due to not being able to build......
