TOWN PLANNING

End-to-end Guidance and Execution.

Navigating house and land development can be convoluted task, and there can be unclear starting points in terms of council approval and financing. Pearl Homes offers clients an extensive range of Town Planning services to seamlessly manage their development projects and reduce the stress of preparing for construction.

  Project feasibility

A feasibility study essentially informs you whether your proposed development will be permitted to move ahead by highlighting any potential problems or risks the investor may face. Pearl Homes conducts a detailed feasibility study by projecting the costs involved, suggesting a profit margin that is both realistic and ideal, and sourcing the potential development.

Town planning assessment and applications

An application or planning permit made to any council should be accompanied by a planning report, which clearly describes the proposed use of the development and addresses any potential impacts considering relevant planning controls and policies. A descriptive site assessment report is prepared, which includes information on the site, surrounding area, planning controls and more.

Site analysis and reports

Council zoning, energy efficiency, biodiversity, geotechnical difficulty, information on legal point of discharge and sewer depth offset are just some of the factors to consider when purchasing land or constructing a new home. Our team conducts all site analyses for our clients and helps you understand each step of the town planning progress.

Covenant removal

Covenant alteration or removal can be a big hurdle, but Pearl Homes is one of Melbourne’s most trusted in successfully dealing with covenants in the past because of our absolute dedication to our clients. Be it a brick covenant or a quota on dwellings, let our team handle your covenant removal and alteration requirements.

VCAT appeals

When the council does not support your development, VCAT is always an option. Pearl Homes has had remarkable success in previous VCAT cases, and we guide you through the entire process.

Subdivision process

From sourcing a profitable land to the successful subdivision of your lot, we strive to offer a truly client-focused service. Subdivision is all about finding right sources, handling paperwork, and keeping on top of the different steps involved. We are proud to be excellent communicators and strengthen great relationships with government bodies over the years, which helps all parties have a positive and successful town planning experience.
