I have looked into these sites and they are very informative.
This will give me an idea to pick the sites with right zoning.

If I find a site that is a decent size i.e. 700 sqm; don’t have any heritage overlay for demolition, not in flood zone and if the numbers stacks up, is there anything else I need to consider before making an…[Read more]

Find a builder that will charge $1200-1300 per sqm and build two 160 sqm town houses. $220000 each.
Plus land purchase cost.
Plus add 5% as a holding cost of the total project cost.

How much can you sell each town house for?

Total block size is 1400 sqm. So I think the side would be at least 450 sqm.
Is there anything else that can be done with the block that I am not seeing?
I am looking for options without demolishing the existing house.

Thank you for the advise.
I am looking for small residential development.

I need to find a town planner and builder.

If I need to find out what I can or can't build on a block, is that a job for town planner?

I didn’t approve it and no easement recorded.

Solicitor is going to review the contract to see if there is any clause that the developer can do this after handover. He is thinking it’s tresspassing.
