24.01.2022 How rediculous is this house design!

22.01.2022 B A I L E Y - UPDATE- Construction of the @thebaileypursuit house is finally seeing some solid progress after constant rain delays ... This pool will feature a glass canal edge once completed - the pool builder noted that they’ve never had to put the quantity of reo into a domestic pool that has been placed into this job before - Excited to see the final outcome, expecting it to be out of this world @ Cleveland, Queensland

22.01.2022 A S H B Y A recent Character House renovation Doyen gained approval for, giving this old girl a new lease on life with a lot of extra living space and some modernisations to keep her looking young and well preserved. This project overcame negotiation elements of proposed demolition and extension works, along with the difficulties of access to the site, burdened by a massive street tree which Council was opposed to removing.... This project was helped along (quite significantly) by having an owner that was reasonably knowledgeable and active in preparing alternate options for consideration.

19.01.2022 R E V E T M E N T Extending you dwelling towards the revetment wall in canal properties can be troublesome the simple concept of extending a deck or pergola isn’t necessarily as simple (or cheap) as property owners assume when they first approach us. Before you invest mentally and financially in your dream renovation, here are three quick considerations we recommend you investigate:... What impact does the structure have on the existing revetment wall engineering needs to back a statement identifying that an unacceptable impact to the structural integrity of the wall does not result from your build. Generally speaking, clever engineering can resolve any loading issues, but this comes at a cost. What else currently exists within your immediate area is your canal-scape going to be drastically different to what everyone else has? Drawing on examples five streets away doesn’t necessarily sit well. Does the construction of your renovation work impact the views your neighbours would otherwise enjoy consideration will be given to how the proposed work impacts views and sightlines.

18.01.2022 S W A N N An exciting Thursday morning for a first-time client, receiving approval documents for their St Lucia property Being located on the corner of a major road, and a few short meters from a corner of three major roads, the client had strong concerns in the ability of achieving a garage and driveway location that was not going to severely impact the design of this dwelling ... We were able to secure a result that has exceeded the expectations of the client who has expressed their gratitude.

17.01.2022 Running your business from home at the moment? Brisbane and Redlands - here’s an insight into Councils rules and regulations. Weather this is by choice or being forced by government protocols, there are a lot of us running a home-based business in the midst of COVID 19. ... This carries enough adjustments and stress-inducing situations with it alone, so having Council knock on your door and question your set-up in accordance with their legislation is the LAST thing you want to happen right now. Given the dire circumstances forced onto us from COVID 19, we would love to think that Council are not actively looking to shut down operations at the current time, but if your neighbour lodges a formal complaint, Council will be forced to investigate. Here’s what you need to know: A home-based business means the use of a dwelling (e.g. House/Unit/etc) or domestic outbuilding (e.g. Granny Flat) on premises for a business activity that is subordinate to the residential use of the premises. BRISBANE: Examples include a bed and breakfast, home office or home-based childcare. Examples do not include an office, shop, warehouse or transport depot. Maximum of 1 non-residential employee for Dwelling houses. NO additional employees for Units / Dual Occupancy. Limited hours from 8am 6pm Monday Saturday (Industry specific, contact us for more details). Maximum 1 customer waiting at any time. Maximum 1 customer vehicle parked on site, or on the street at any time. REDLANDS: Maximum 3 non-resident employees if in Rural, Rural Res or Env Management Zones. Maximum of 1 non-resident employee in all other cases. Maximum 2 customers waiting at any one time. Maximum 8 customers in one day Maximum 40 customers in one week. Please note that this list is a summary and by no means should be used for an in-depth list of considerations if you are operating a home-based business, Inbox us your details and we will send you a Council-specific checklist free of charge!

16.01.2022 Another week, another phone call from a property owner exited by the prospect of subdividing their block of land after discovering that they meet the requirements for lot size and width identified by their local Council Firstly I note, good on you for taking the time to strive to better your knowledge and work towards improving your future situation, but (and it’s a BIG but) there are a number of things you’ve missed which are critical to being able to subdivide your bloc...k, and it’s not looking promising. *silence* This is a difficult situation how do you (potentially) shatter someone’s dreams within 5 minutes of meeting them for the first time For those of you who want to avoid this, here’s some sound advice call a Town Planner before you spend hours with Google! (preferably us, because we’re awesome our details are below). In less than 5 minutes we can check your lot for a number of issues and provide some advice on your ability to move forward. If you’re unsure of approximate costing, we can give you a general idea of what you need to have available too. So, it’s up to you invest hours in google reading what you can only assume is correct information or invest time in talking to a professional who can answer your questions quickly and precisely Need expert Town Planning advice? 07 3180 4702 [email protected] doyenplanning.com.au #urbanplanning #development #brisbanetownplanner #brisbanebusiness #realestate #covid19 #corona #brisbane #building #development #construction #brisbane #subdivision

16.01.2022 Recently we signed sealed and delivered the final pieces of this fantastic @bellevueqld project in Stafford The property stands out in the street above and beyond all with massive amounts of ground level vegetation and a design / finish that flows seamlessly. Being walking distance to major public transport routes and (literally) across the road from a massive park, the location is perfect for this type of development ... Very happy with the results we were able to achieve for our client.

16.01.2022 B U L I M B A - Site Update - A few short weeks between updates and the guys at Crew Constructions and JDP Homes Pty Ltd have taken this vacant block of land and converted it into the skeleton of a big dual oc ... Handover before Christmas at this pace This area has flooding and coastal hazard issues the site directly next door was forced to maintain a single lot and form a body corporate structure to address these restrictions with their dual oc approval. We achieved both a dual oc and a 1:2 lot subdivision with some creative solutions to avoid the unappealing body corporate structure for our client - achieving results that others did not are what we thrive on Need expert Town Planning advice? 07 3180 4702 [email protected] doyenplanning.com.au #urbanplanning #development #brisbanetownplanner #brisbanebusiness #realestate #brisbane #building #development #construction #brisbane #townhouse #bulimba See more

14.01.2022 B U L I M B A Another Doyen approval in prestige Bulimba. We gave our client confidence in applying for this Dual Occupancy project with the added benefit of individual land titles, despite their previous experience of being rejected for an (almost) identical project on the adjoining allotment via another Planning Company.... This project dealt with constraints of #flooding and coastal hazard with some clever design and engineering elements. Giving advice which others gave and delivering where others could not is something we are very proud of being able to do. . . .

13.01.2022 B A I L E Y Site Update A few short weeks ago this site was predominately dirt with freshly poured foundations. The guys at @lindon_homes haven’t wasted any time in getting the slab down and frame up an impressive feat given the size of this place.... One of the unique features of this house is the Hebel PowerFloor finish to the upper level I’ve heard mixed feedback on the product but this is my first exposure to it and I can say first hand that I found it solid under foot and was impressed by how well of a job it did at noise dampening as we stomped around the upper level testing it out. Being up on the second floor overlooking the water and seeing the remarkable view first hand for the first time was fantastic incredibly glad to have been able to achieve the planning outcomes being brought to life with this build, the finished product will be spectacular keep your eyes peeled for future updates . . .

08.01.2022 V I C T O R Recently we gained sign off for changes to the approved staging for this 22 unit multiple dwelling project in the quiet bayside neighbourhood of Birkdale We are now in the process of undertaking plan sealing for stage 1 so our client can bring the remaining few to market.... Close to schools, waterfront recreation, public transport and shops makes the location of these townhouses appealing to down-sizers and first home buyers As a business we endeavour to be involved with projects as long as possible - regularly seeing paper outcomes come to life is part of how we continue to develop our knowledge and expertise in ensuring the outcomes we seek during the DA process are both good for the project and can realistically be achieved during construction Need expert Town Planning advice? 07 3180 4702 [email protected] doyenplanning.com.au #urbanplanning #development #brisbanetownplanner #brisbanebusiness #realestate #brisbane #building #development #construction #brisbane #townhouse #redlands #birkdale @ Birkdale, Queensland See more

07.01.2022 It’s not often that we come across hand drawn plans these days! Not sure if it’s a skill that’s being lost or if advancements in technology make it a concept we no longer need - what’s your thoughts? This little beach house will soon reside on the top of a hill on Stradbroke Island with some pretty wild views all round - whale spotting from the balcony certainly won’t be out of the question ...

06.01.2022 C H A N G E Change is as good as a holiday, so they say It’s not uncommon for market conditions or site conditions to change from paper concept to detailed design/construction stage. Sometimes these are months and even years apart, so it’s not completely unexpected.... This was the case for the above pictured townhouse project - a client we have completed a couple of projects for came to us mid construction needing their approval changed as they had reduced the number of construction stages and adjusted some basic elements during construction as the paper approval wasn’t as practical as first anticipated. We got this through swiftly for the client with minimal delays Where changes occur during construction, it’s important that you ensure your DA reflects what’s occurring - Council are cracking down on ‘as constructed’ changes and we have seen construction / sale delayed by months due to these issues. Come to us early and changes can be resolved early - come to us once Council or a Certifier are unable to sign off on the changes and they take significantly longer, costing you a lot more $$$ then you ever needed to spend.

05.01.2022 S E A C R E S T Perhaps one of the last photos of this place as it’s readied for demolition to make way for a fresh design that will spruce up the water-scape Always great working with owner-builders as they generally have a great understanding of site potential and limitations! ...

04.01.2022 P R O J E C T - C O N S E R V A T I O N We recently had a client referred to us who owns a parcel of land on one of the Southern Moreton Bay Islands (SMBI’s).... The site is zoned Conservation - City Plan states that a Dwelling House is not envisaged within this zone. Imagine owning a block of land with direct water frontage, but you can’t build anything on it!? Our gut instinct was that this didn’t seem right Either side of this block of land are lots with Dwelling Houses there is ample cleared land for a dwelling to be constructed, surely Council can’t be this harsh!? We recommended that the property owners undertake a formal pre lodgement meeting to obtain feedback from Council. The feedback received today during this meeting was relatively positive there will be a few hurdles to overcome, and a whole lot of paperwork, but I’m optimistic that there’s a Dwelling House approval coming their way in the not too distant future We’ll keep you updated

03.01.2022 WHO DID IT BETTER? Swipe Swipe The Great Wall (2016) IMDB 5.9/10, or The Great Indooroopilly Wall (2020) IMDB 11/10?... A few months back a regular client reached out for advice ‘A wall has been constructed for retaining at a site in Indooroopilly, there is a section ~2m in height that needs approval, it’s already built, the neighbours have complained, Council has issued a notice, what do we do?!’ Not normally a job we would take on being a Town Planning Consultancy (retaining walls are largely Engineering), but a regular client needed a hand, so we agreed to give it a shot. To help you visualise the situation, there was over 100m of retaining wall that had been constructed , the owner was NOT happy and neither was the Certifier, the Pool builder nor the Landscaper it was at the ‘just fix it’ stage. We gathered Engineering documentation (oddly way more difficult than it should’ve been), lodged the application, negotiated, clarified, shone light on an outcome that didn’t involve Councils immediate request to ‘change the wall’, gave hope to an owner who was facing the financial prospect of pulling a wall down and rebuilding during a time where his job was significantly affected by COVID. The end result a satisfied homeowner, a wall that remained unchanged , and a neighbour who was happy with the final product . We won more combats then Matt Daemon if you ask me. . . .

01.01.2022 How long does my Development Approval last? If you’ve purchased a site ‘DA Approved’ or recently obtained your own approval, you may be wondering how long the approval has left or will last. At the time of posting, the Planning Act 2016 outlines default currency periods.... Here’s a quick rundown of the most common types Material Change of Use (MCU): 6 years for the use to happen (i.e. use commences). Reconfiguration of a Lot (ROL / Subdivision): 4 years for the plan of subdivision to be submitted to Council for plan sealing. Building Work: 2 years, and the work must substantially start within that period Staged Approval: Any aspects completed within the currency period are lawful, any stages not complete lapse. Reaching the end of your currency period isn’t the end of the world Planning Act allows the extension of these periods however these are discretionary and not guaranteed, so it’s best to request an extension earlier rather than later. Extensions must occur prior to the lapse date. If you’re buying a site with ‘DA in place’ give us a call before you sign any paperwork and we will look over the approval and outline important information such as the currency period. If you’ve recently obtained an approval and your consultant hasn’t provided you with a detailed rundown of your obligations and timeframes, this is something we can assist with too. Don’t find yourself caught out the unknown elements sting the hardest Need expert Town Planning advice? 07 3180 4702 [email protected] doyenplanning.com.au #urbanplanning #development #brisbanetownplanner #brisbanebusiness #realestate #covid19 #corona #brisbane #building #development #construction See more
