BREAKING NEWS for anyone who owns land in Victoria or is looking to buy...
The Victorian Government just announced that plans for up to four homes on a single block will be approved within 10 business days, as long as the design meets the state's rules for townhouses (things like how far the building sits from the fence, privacy for neighbours and landscaping).
Until now that fast approval only covered two homes. The council won't be able to say no if the plan meets the rules. It's reported to start next month.
In plain terms: a project that used to sit with council for two months or more could be approved in a fortnight. That's less interest paid while you wait, an earlier start on site, and a lot more certainty before you commit.
Heritage and environmental protections still apply, so the design has to be right from the first drawing.
If you've got a block that could take 2, 3 or 4 homes and you'd like help, we offer two ways to work with us:
Done-For-You. We run the whole project end to end, from feasibility and design through approval, build and completion, while you get on with your life.
Done-With-You. You stay in the driver's seat and we walk beside you every step, so you learn how it's done and never make a decision alone.
Either way, the first step is the same. Email your questions to [email protected] — include your block's address if you have one and we'll tell you honestly whether it stacks up under the new rules.
This isn't financial advice — always check with a professional before making a big decision like building or developing.
