1 into 6 Land Subdivision (Harwood Homes - Mark Harris & Nicola Woodman)
3.22ha, Rural Living & Rural Horticulture Zoning, Waikerie, District Council of Loxton Waikerie, South Australia
Have you ever thought about tackling a subdivision project in a rural area BUT found yourself overwhelmed by the what-ifs?
Don’t know how to get access to services with such a big block of land?
What about also having to deal with flooding, wildlife, pesky Council regulations! It all sounds pretty tricky… Right!?!? It’s enough to make anyone hesitate!
Well, that’s what Mark & Nicola from Harwood Homes faced with this 1 into 6 subdivision project - PLUS there were more obstacles to navigate:
- deceased estate with inflexible lawyer as the executor
- change of government policy for rural rooming houses
- Anomaly in the zoning
- delays to electricity connection with Murray River flooding
- water connection installed in the wrong place
- Council asking for building envelope for the 5,200m2 subdivided block! Whatttt???
- creepy bedroom in the existing house…
- AND rabbits eating the landscaping! Augghhhh!
Fortunately, they had great JV partners who funded the deal in cash (no banks involved) and Council came good with laying bitumen on the road at the front of the block.
Come along to this Meetup to learn from these super-experienced developers how they ploughed through the problems and harvested a healthy profit at the end of the deal!
