Hi Guys,
it all depends on where your property is located and the zoning in the Gold Coast Planning Scheme.
so you will need to talk to a town planner who will have a look at the development potential of your lot and advise you of any issues with the site. eg. zoning, minimum lot size, flooding, protected vegetation….etc
or if you want to save money. talk to a Council town planner and ask them questions about the zoning, and the minimum lot size.
Hi Peter,
It all depends on the zoning of your land.
Contact you local council and ask a planner what is the zoning of your property and what is the allowed density for apartments in that zone.
or find a local town planner who will help you with all of that.
like RHP said, talk to a town planner first.
you will be wasting money if you do any work prior to obtaining council approval.
Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your feedback.
The website is a database of a large number of articles on topics relating to building, development, and home improvement that is updated on a daily basis.
Businesses and professionals are encouraged to submit helpful articles that are directly related to their field of work.
For example, a town planning consultancy in Sydney is encouraged to write articles about town planning in Sydney, Architects are encouraged to write articles about architecture, Surveyors are encouraged to write about land surveying, Builders are encourages to write about building requirements, and property investment firms are encourage to write about property investment.
In return these businesses and professional will get free advertising on http://www.weplan.com.au.
More articles are coming on a daily basis, so keep an eye out.
The town planner will prepare the development application to council, the town planner will:
- Prepare a town planning report to Council (approx 40 pages);
- Assess the development against all the Council codes;
- Assess the development against any state regulations that might apply to the property;
- Liaise with Council on any issues that might arise;
- Assess Council's conditions of approval;
You will be looking at approximately 2.5 grand for the work. (maybe less if the application is simple)
How much money you earn depends on the location of the property and the size of the lot.
the following link will help in assessing the costs: http://www.weplan.com.au/town-planning/subdivision

Architects usually charge between 7% and 15% of the total construction cost.
if you want cheaper, look for a building designer. They usually provide similar service for a much cheaper price.
Hi Mate,
the first point of contact would be the Moreton Bay Regional Council, and ask them to tell you what is the zoning of the property. Ask the Council planner what is the minimum lot size for your zoning. The planning office will tell you the likelihood of subdivision.
The next point of call is to contact a private town planner to discuss the application.
regards
Antonio
