  • Breece replied to the topic Draftsman or Architect in the forum Value Adding 12 years, 6 months ago

    Hi Shanmarsh,
    You’d be surprised at the dimensions of houses we deal with on a daily basis!
    I’m currently working on a heritage property in Collingwood that is 4.7m x 31m and another in Yarraville that is approx. 6.5m x 38m.
    We’re also currently developing a site in Brunswick that is 10.4m x 38m for SEVEN double storey townhouses (accessed off a…[Read more]

  • Breece replied to the topic Draftsman or Architect in the forum Value Adding 12 years, 6 months ago

    I agree with Christian (we seem to do that a lot lately!)

    It really depends on the scale and concept you’re after. A combo of Planner/Draftsman or Planner/Architect is always a recipe for success. As I’ve said elsewhere, you get what you pay for and you wouldn’t go to your GP to get dental work done. The same applies with Planning and Building…[Read more]

  • Breece replied to the topic Subdivision – what i’ve expirienced to date in the forum Help Needed! 12 years, 6 months ago

    G’day mate,

    Your story isn’t unusual I’m afraid. You’ll almost always get conflicting advice, particularly between Town Planning Consultants and Draftsmen. There’s a reason why one is good at Drawing, and the other is good at interpreting the Planning Scheme… This is also the reason why I don’t draw..

    At the end of the day, unless you’re…[Read more]

  • Breece replied to the topic To Demolish or not to Demolish in the forum Value Adding 12 years, 6 months ago

    I’d be urging caution before going ahead with this one Rollo..
    A Heritage Overlay and a very small lot size (for what you propose) does not always work in your favour.
    I agree with Luke, seek advice from a range of professionals who can give you clear answers to your site specific concerns.

    Furthermore, never use precedent as your starting point.…[Read more]

  • Breece replied to the topic Selling a property with a sewerage easement in the forum General Property 12 years, 6 months ago

    Easements generally come in three common varieties: access, utilities, and water/sewerage. In our experience, water/sewerage is the most common. The value of property that is subject to an easement may be affected by restrictions on the use of the land resulting from the easement. In some rare instances, it is possible to get an existing…[Read more]

  • Breece replied to the topic Advice on removing an Heritage Overlay in the forum Help Needed! 12 years, 6 months ago

    Hi Trying investor, You cannot simply remove a Heritage Overlay, unless there are some extenuating circumstances, such as an 'untimely house fire' that has destroyed the property that related to the site specific Heritage Overlay. If however, your property is under a precinct-wide Heritage Overlay, there is little to no chance of having it…[Read more]

    Hi Baysider, For a straight subdivision of the rear, I suggest you talk to a Land Surveyor.  <moderator: delete advertising>Good luck with your subdivision! All the best, Breece

  • Breece replied to the topic cost of building a townhouse in melbourne in the forum Value Adding 12 years, 9 months ago

    Hi Dougyman,

    That price seems a bit steep for a development of that size and scale.

    As with all things in life there are pro’s and con’s for going down the path of Spec Home building. I’m sure Metricon offer a very good package deal, and would take care of all the hassle for you. This however may come at a premium.

  • Breece replied to the topic Development on <600sqm in the forum Help Needed! 12 years, 10 months ago

    Hi WealthyJVD and Blair,

    Clause 55 forms part of the planning assessment that needs to be completed on developments of two or more dwellings on a lot, or residential buildings (eg. Block of low-rise flats).

    Clause 55 gives both your draftsman and town planner the criteria with which we design your townhouses, and includes such things as side and…[Read more]

    G’day Grantos,
    What state is the property located?

  • Breece replied to the topic Sub-Divide and Build in the forum Help Needed! 12 years, 10 months ago

    Hi everyone, There are a range of factors that determine the density at which you will be able to develop your land. For example in metropolitan Melbourne, in addition to ResCode, we have local planning policies that inform what form and pattern of development councils wish to see in their communities. An example of this can be found with Hobsons…[Read more]

    Glenroy is certainly an interesting area at the moment. We’ve been personally looking for the right property in the Pascoe Vale, Oak Park and Glenroy corridor for several months. It’s definitely an area that appears to be realising it’s potential at the moment.

    Hey Shell,

    I know it’s hard but try to hold your nerve on this. I went through a similar situation with one of our properties in North Fitzroy.
    Finding a good tenant is one of the keys to happiness.
