Our client is extremely happy that we achieved 16 units on 2,300sqm  which was made up of 14x 2 bedroom 70sqm = 2x 1 bedroom. All car parking is on grade to reduce construction costs and time-frame for the build. The client has to only hold 20% of the development or 4 units as affordable rental for 10 years due to the total floor space of 1,142sqm or 0.50:1 ratio. The rest can be sold as strata title immediately.  If the client chose to sell the last 4 units they would have a restriction on their rental return until the 10 year period is up.

The Affordable Rental Housing SEPP allows development on properties in some low density areas which are either 400m from a qualifying bus stop or 800m from a railway station as long as the sites are zoned to permit the type of development proposed.  The types of development can include In-fill Development, Granny flats/ secondary dwellings, new generation boarding houses, Social Housing, Group Homes, Supportive Housing.

McCullum Ashby Architects were engaged to prepare a development application for apartments / units on and existing residential site. The proposal was lodged under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Affordable Rental Housing) 2009. We recently obtained development application consent / approval to enable the developer to either sell the site with a DA approval or construct the development.
