It’s not always as simple as looking at the size of a block and deciding what will fit. What you can build depends on a combination of planning controls, zoning, overlays, site conditions, access, setbacks, topography, flooding, parking and other requirements. Understanding a property’s development potential requires considering these factors together, along with what is practical to design and build. A feasibility study brings this information together to identify realistic development options for your site.
Why the Feasibility Study?
- Development Potential
- What types of residential development may be possible.
- Indicative Yield
- How much development may realistically fit on the site.
- Key Constraints
- What could prevent, reduce or complicate development.
- Key Opportunities
- What characteristics of the site could support a better outcome.
- Development Direction
- Which options appear worth investigating further.
We investigate:
- Planning scheme and zoning
- Site area and dimensions
- Relevant overlays and constraints
- Setbacks and building envelope
- Site access
- Topography and slope
- Flooding and other site constraints
- Potential development types
Depending on the site’s potential:
- Single dwelling – Single detached house
- Secondary dwelling – Granny Flat
- Dual occupancy – Duplex Configuration
- Subdivision – Split the Land
- Townhouses – 3 or More Dwellings
- Small-scale apartments – Small Self-Contained Spaces
The result is not simply a list of planning rules. It is a clearer picture of what the property could potentially become.
Note: Development potential is based on preliminary assessment and available information. Final development outcomes are subject to detailed design, specialist investigations and relevant approvals.
