24.01.2022 The proposal was for a 2 into 2 subdivision, due to Council owning an Access Restriction Strip at the Grenier Street frontage of the site. A prelodgement meeting and discussions were held with Council to gain in-principle support for the subdivision to lot sizes less than the Acceptable Outcome, to gain Council consent for the lodgement of the application (as they were the owner of one of the lots) and conversion of the Access Restriction Strip to road reserve. Approval was ...duly granted, with conditions requiring earthworks, road dedications and easements for storm water infrastructure. Both adjoining properties possessed retaining walls near to the common boundaries, hence close liaison with said neighbours was necessary during the required excavation works. As a result of our project management of the works, the proposal was eligible for Council’s SealSMART fast-tracking process, with the plan being sealed by Council in only 4 business days from lodgement, with no further issues requiring resolution.

17.01.2022 Located in the sought after area of Greenslopes, The Planning Place were able to obtain approval at 39 Chatsworth Road, Greenslopes for this four townhouse development with sensitive integration of a retained pre-1946 house into the built form, and successfully achieving a site cover of 52.1% on a 711m2 block with a 15.94m road frontage. The developer sought to gain a marketable residential unit product for the locality with the highest possible yield. The architecturally des...igned townhouse apartments is a great example of generous sized residences with roof top terraces on the rear building to take advantage of City views and each with double lock-up garages. The design comprised a stepped built form with a semi-basement car park level to take account of a constrained sloping site. Notably, the client was able to exercise existing land use rights and development opportunity under the site’s current Low-Medium Density Residential Zone before the Council’s anticipated major planning scheme amendment to the City Plan 2014 is brought into place, which seeks to down-zone numerous properties under the Neighbourhood Local Plan to Character Residential Zone. What this means is, that following the zone changes, the subsequent outcome will be reduced development potential due to a reduction in the number of dwellings that could be established on the subject land size.

09.01.2022 The Planning Place were able to obtain approval for a Material Change of use for Multiple Dwelling (5 units with retention of a pre-1946 Dwelling House) and Building Works for partial demolition of pre-1946 Dwelling House in the Traditional building character overlay at 25 Noble Street, Camp Hill. The application triggered an Impact assessable development application requiring public notification due to the proposal exceeding the prescribed maximum allowed of two storeys unde...r the City Plan 2014. Notwithstanding, The Planning Place successfully achieved a partial third storey building and a site cover of 53.7% on a 814m2 site area. The building design allowed for increased side setbacks at the upper storey (exceeding the Multiple Dwelling Code requirements) to ensure suitable height transition and building separation to the adjoining dwellings. The townhouses are configured as two separate buildings to achieve a broken up built form and comprised a stepped built form with a semi-basement car park level to take account of the sloping constrained site. The proposed partial demolition and revitalisation of the pre-1946 house was sensitively incorporated into the new built form, and achieved a maximum building height under 9.5m at all sections of the buildings, ensuring the development will maintain a consistent and compatible height, scale and traditional building character appearance to the streetscape and locality. The development application was lodged under the current Low-Medium Density Residential Zoning provisions prior to the Council’s anticipated major planning scheme amendment to the City Plan 2014 being brought into place, which seeks to down-zone many properties under the Neighbourhood Local Plan to Character Residential Zone. The landowner therefore was able to exercise existing land use rights and exploit development opportunity under the current zoning provisions. Following the zone changes, the subsequent outcome will represent reduced development potential due to a reduction in the number of dwellings that could be established on the subject land size.

01.01.2022 474 Cavendish Rd, Coorparoo - New Dwelling House within the Traditional Building Character Overlay on a Small Lot, contained within the Character (Character) Residential Zone. The application was approved promptly by Council through RiskSmart, taking 7 business days in total from lodgement of the application. The dwelling appropriately addressed the slope of the site in a manner consistent with Council's expectations of traditional building character.
