23.01.2022 Flashback Friday! We received Development Approval for the partial demolition and extension of this traditional character house in Jessop Street, Windsor. This design enhances the traditional character of the dwelling while satisfying modern living expectations.... Another great example of how good planning advice can streamline the development assessment process and avoid delays such as information requests and plan changes.

22.01.2022 Last week Ken Ryan & Associates attended the PIA National Congress at the Gold Coast. There was a fantastic turnout and some very interesting speakers, including Trooper Sanders who discussed the application and risks of Artificial Intelligence in the future of planning. Keeping up to date with the world of planning and its exciting future! #piacongress19 #planninginstituteofaustralia #planninginstituteaustralia #townplanning #townplanningbrisbane #townplanningaustralia #artificialintelligence #futureofplanning #kenryanassociates

21.01.2022 When you’ve been in the industry for as long as Ken Ryan, not only do you have 40 years’ worth of experience to rely upon, but you’re also bound to have a few relics in the archive..... And we thought the current Spring Hill Plan was long.... #relics #polaroids #neighbourhoodplan #springhill #brisbane #townplanning #townplanner #brisbanedevelopment #brisbanecitycouncil #PIA

20.01.2022 The Queensland State Government has published a draft Model Code for Neighbourhood Design which provides a set of subdivision standards. The purpose of the code is to facilitate the creation of safe, healthy and accessible neighbourhoods and support diverse housing types and lot forms. We see apparent contradiction in many of the principles within the code, including the demonisation of cul-de-sacs and the reduction of lot sizes which may result in outcomes opposite to the ob...jectives set out. Some of the other initiatives include the most basic urban design principles known to experienced practitioners and which could be (and are) enforced by local governments already without the development and adoption of new provisions. We question the necessity of the code and the potential effects it may have on alternative choices, diversity and capacity to deal with constrained sites. To read more, visit our website blog at: https://lnkd.in/fGNhE8S The draft Code is open for public consultation until 1 September 2019. Make sure you have your say. #urban #design #housing #development #stategovernment #queensland #code #townplanning #neighbourhood #culdesac #reconfiguringlot #subdivision

20.01.2022 Great to see one of our recent approvals for a 3 storey house at Highgate Hill under construction by @mcveighhomes.

19.01.2022 http://kenryan.net.au//draft-banyo-northgate-neighbourhoo/ The draft Banyo-Northgate Neighbourhood Plan is currently being prepared by BCC and includes parts of Nudgee, Nundah, Virginia and Hendra.

17.01.2022 BCC's Universal Housing Design Incentive provides a financial incentive for new dwellings which include design features that increase accessibility in existing and future development approvals. You may wish to discuss the eligibility for future development to fulfil criteria which may help to recoup some development costs. However, we remain concerned that the increased costs of achieving these standards has adverse effects on housing affordability and that many sites are una...ble to comply with the standards.

17.01.2022 It is great to see construction of two of our recent townhouse approvals in Bundara Street, Morningside nearing completion. @suttonconstructions have done a great job of turning these approvals into reality. These developments offer a variety of designs including units on separate freehold title in a great location not far from Morningside train station. Separate freehold lots for each unit is likely to be more difficult since Brisbane City Council have announced their new blueprint for the City. #development #townhouses #freehold #townplanner #morningside #construction #brisbaneplanner #developmentapproval #units #freeholdunit #morningsidedevelopment #morningsidetownhouses #blueprint #lotsize #bundara #brisbane #brisbanecity #yimby #kenryanandassociates

16.01.2022 Brisbane City Council is proposing changes to the City Plan 2014 to effectively prohibit development of townhouses and apartments in Low Density Residential (LDR) zone intended primarily, but not exclusively, for single dwelling houses since 1978. Since then existing provisions allowed townhouses and apartments on sites within the LDR Zone with areas of 3,000m or more, or within specific precincts of Neighbourhood Plans. The proposed amendments remove this development potent...ial. These proposed changes have now progressed through the first Queensland Government review and are a step closer to reality, with the Major Amendment Package H currently under public consultation. There is still time to make a submission - you have until 26 August 2019.

14.01.2022 We have seen recently in the South-East Queensland region an increase in compliance and regulatory matters, resulting in show cause and / or enforcement notices for a number of reasons. If you do not have a permit or do not satisfy accepted development criteria you will need to obtain a Development Permit or cease operation. However, where historical uses are concerned, it is worthwhile investigating more closely. Our office is in a unique position to understand the local ...government compliance process, and to develop management strategies to reach resolution that avoid enforcement actions. Read more about show cause and enforcement notices by visiting our latest blog: https://lnkd.in/fGuRvQz #showcause #enforcement #brisbanecitycouncil #qldplanning #localgovernment #pia #planninginstituteaustralia #existinguserights #brisbanedevelopment #townplanning #development #developmentpermit

14.01.2022 Check out this amazing pre-war house transformation! We achieved Building Work Approval in the Traditional Building Character Overlay and the transformation has since been completed by Brogan Ryan Builders. We are proud to be part of the team who helped achieve such an amazing outcome built on extensive experience in similar projects. We recommend obtaining town planning advice if you are considering making any alterations or undertaking renovations to a pre-war house, especi...ally if your concepts are a little out of the ordinary.

12.01.2022 Further Brisbane City Plan amendment packages are in train and in combination with Major Amendment Package H, will result in unintended constraint of the development of townhouses and apartments outside of the LDR Zone. Amendment Package J proposes further constraints on car parking for Multiple Dwellings. The immediate outcome of Amendment Package J is that additional car parking spaces will need to be provided and integrated into the building layout. This will reduce yield ...or require costly basements where they could otherwise be avoided. We urge awareness of this proposed amendment and the far-reaching implications of its effect.

10.01.2022 So great to see another one of our projects come to fruition! This project was for a service station and ancillary shop on Ipswich Road in Wacol, which when completed Caltex will be operating! Although the site previously occupied a service station, low impact industrial uses superseded the historical use and we had to start from scratch. We addressed access, stormwater and landscaping issues to achieve a safe, accessible and attractive development and a great planning outc...ome! #newdevelopment #townplanning #townplanningbrisbane #brisbanedevelopment #caltex #caltexaustralia #wacol #servicestation #brisbanecitycouncil #yimby #yimbyqld #bcc #brisbaneconstruction #pia #planninginstituteaustralia

09.01.2022 Flashback Friday! Another Development Approval we received for the partial demolition and extension to a dwelling house in Leybourne Street, Chelmer.
