Do you know about infrastructure costs?
In Marsden zones W1 WW1 SW1 T2 P1 total to $33,500 for infrastructure.
I don't understand the infrastructure discount. Do you get a discount for 1 to 2 lot sub division if you tap off the existing sewerage of the existing house?
It says no infrastructure costs payable on dual occupancy (ancillary unit). So if I sub divide 1 existing into a two and dual both, I should only have to pay 1x infrastructure.
Hi Secto,
Sean here from Mark Wilson Design and Build. We have been doing a lot of these types of buildings and investments for clients. I have been telling people to buy in Marsden for a while. A couple of clients were smart enough to actually take our advice. You wouldn't believe that for a short time the draft planning scheme was actually made public for a little while. It gave everyone willing to look at the info to realise the zoning changes and make a bit of money on cheap properties. That is another story however?
On to your issue. In terms of requirements for lot subdivisions look here:
http://www.logan.qld.gov.au/__data/...5856/Part-9-Development-codes-version-1.1.pdf
This planning code is actually very simplified compared to the previous one.
You have to have one access strip of 4m, a services width of 0.5m. Min frontage is 15m. Depth to width ratio of 3-1. Rear lot has to be at least 600m2 excluding the access strip. The front lot could be 350m2. Table 9.2.2.3.1 CO4 actually outlines the distances required from existing houses to new boundaries. For your area this is: 4m front, 4.5m back and 1.5m to the side if a single storey, or 2m to the side if a double storey. If you have an access width of 4m and the house is say, only 5m away from the side boundary and a two storey you would have to be 6m away from the boundary (4+2=6). Now, you can apply for relaxation to this rule.
Please note, for every rule, an exception can be made. These rules outlined in these tables are prescriptive outcomes. They are the lowest form of planning guidelines.
Of course, your case will need to actually be valued on its merits. Depending on the actual lot, you may be able to get 3 lots out of it for 6 rental incomes, or just 2 lots for a potential 4 incomes.
