25.01.2022 Whilst the application for the Currumbin secondary dwelling was underway, we added in the expansion of the primary dwelling's second storey and wrap-around deck. Thanks to our experience with RAAs, we successfully negotiated relaxed side setbacks to match the existing ground storey walls. The approved design features screening along the side boundary to achieve privacy but retains the open outlook to the beach.

23.01.2022 A Minor Change to the original building envelope for this lot was required to accommodate this beautiful home as well as the necessary on-site wastewater treatment system. Through many negotiations with Council, HPC were successful in expanding the building envelope to incorporate the house, retaining walls, a future shed and the driveway. The Minor Change also saw the effluent area envelope shifted more towards the rear. This avoided conflict with existing stormwater infrastructure and provided greater flexibility for the house design.

23.01.2022 The project team negotiated with Council's Water and Waste department to allow for the secondary dwelling to be built over an existing sewer main which traverses the width of the site. To ensure the asbestos cement sewer main is sufficiently strengthened to withstanding being built over, the team agreed to safely reline the pipe in accordance with a condition of approval.

23.01.2022 Is there sewer infrastructure in your site? The City of Gold Coast have developed a guideline to assist in designing and managing construction over or near sewerage infrastructure. Note that the current Build Over Sewer form is being discontinued and Referral Agency Assessments are the way of the future. For more information, go to https://buff.ly/382tSEx

22.01.2022 HPC secured development approval for the new GraysOnline Distribution Centre in Pinkenba. The proposal included 1,490sqm warehouse space, ancillary office and 35,000sqm outdoor storage yard. The development site will be used for the outdoor storage and distribution of heavy mining, construction and agriculture machinery and other similar / associated equipment and goods. Due to the medium impact activities being proposed in the high impact industry zone, a temporary 10-year a...pproval was negotiated. In addition, HPC successfully secured a Negotiated Decision Notice to significantly increase the footprint of the ancillary office space and further minor amendments to the proposal post approval to meet the tenant’s evolving operational requirements.

20.01.2022 There are three key points that need to be demonstrated to Council when applying for a structure over the revetment wall: (1) Flood Storage (2) Structural Integrity of Revetment Wall and (3) Maintenance of Revetment Wall.

19.01.2022 State borders: making things ~interesting~ for development since they were drawn. Whilst not impossible, redrawing a state border is very challenging and requires approval from Federal and State Governments, as well all land holders.

19.01.2022 The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming the cities and communities we live in, and not all of this is by intentional design. A new direction for urban planning and design summarised as "a hyper-local model, where people access everything they need as near as possible to where they live". Bloomberg CityLab has compiled and illustrated some of the most noteworthy changes. Check it out at: https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2020-city-in-recovery/

18.01.2022 Here at HPC Urban, we also prepare, lodge and manage applications for advertising devices. Depending on the Council area, an ad may require a DA for Operational Works or use another, specific application process. Get into contact with us for more information!

17.01.2022 On behalf of Spaceframe Buildings, HPC Urban have secured the approval for a Low Impact Industry on the original Boral Brickworks site in Darra. The development application required extensive acoustic consideration for nearby residential areas, stormwater management for overland flow and security for the adjoining railway corridor. Great job team! Planning by HPC Urban Design by Spaceframe Buildings Civil engineering by JC Engineers... Acoustic engineering by Acoustic Works See more

13.01.2022 The Minister of Infrastructure and Planning has provided Queensland with 6-month extensions to the currency periods for development approvals and compliance permits in effect between 8 July 2020 and 31 October 2020. For more details, go to: https://buff.ly/2OHiuFa

11.01.2022 Planning approval issued for @gjgardnerhomesaustralia for this duplex in Miami. The project team worked closely with Council to ensure the reduced side boundary setbacks would provide an acceptable level of privacy for future occupants and neighbours. The design of this duplex responds to the flood overlay present over the site, with the area beneath the driveway and garages to be filled above the flood level and the remainder of the structure suspended on piers to allow floodwaters to enter beneath the dwellings via battened cladding.

10.01.2022 Yet another signage approval obtained in Berrinba. This time it was for the Mitre 10 and Home Timber & Hardware warehouse.

08.01.2022 Our latest RAA approval was for open carports and entry pergolas for a dual occupancy in Miami. The approved structures are located on the front boundary and result in the site cover exceeding 50%. Our team justified the proposal by highlighting its contribution to the neighbourhood's character and contemporary design. Design by New Paradigm Design Certification by Rocket Building Approvals

07.01.2022 Planning approval issued for this coastal secondary dwelling on a narrow block. The dwelling is located to the rear of the existing primary house and encroaches within the allowed side and rear boundary clearances. The design is exemplary for the desired coastal vernacular of Currumbin locality. Car parking is always a difficult issue to resolve for small-lot infill development projects. Due to the narrow width and small size of the property, space for off-street car parking ...was limited. During the course of the assessment, the project team reconfigured the car parking layout on site to achieve Council's Transport Code car parking requirements.

06.01.2022 The new nature conservation regulations commence on 22 August 2020. For details on the existing legislation to be repealed and consequential changes to the Protected Areas Management Regulation, refer to: https://buff.ly/3fMd2Mm

04.01.2022 One of our recent signage approvals was for the QLS Group and Ecycle Solutions warehouse in Berrinba. As the warehouse has frontage to the Logan Motorway, code assessment was triggered. So that's when we jumped in, prepared and lodged the application within days of appointment. Great work team!

03.01.2022 Due to the site's topography, multiple retaining walls were proposed. The Minor Change ensured these walls were located within the building envelope to make efficient use of the site and limit potential amenity impacts.

02.01.2022 If you have a proposal but need confirmation that a full development application isn't required, we're the team for you! Our Town Planning Appraisals will identify applicable and potential application triggers, list relevant requirements and assess whether your proposal complies with the codes. One of our latest appraisals, for a home-based business, included a list of recommendations to ensure compliance with the codes which saved the need for an application and bushfire assessment.
