21 Lot Land Subdivision
1.5ha, General Residential - Suburban Neighbourhood Zone, Caboolture, City of Moreton Bay Council, Queensland
Imagine diving into your fifth property development project and taking on a two-stage, 21 Lot Land Subdivision. Sounds intense, right?
Well, that's exactly what Henry Ledingham did - despite initially losing control of the site to another developer! Yikes!
Stage One involved a 1 into 2 Subdivision separating off the current owners’ home and creating a vacant lot to "purchase". Then…
Stage Two – a 21 Lot Land Subdivision of the vacant lot.
Despite Henrys’ years of prior experience in the construction industry, it wasn’t all smooth sailing… Just a few of the issues he needed to tackle were:
- a stubborn council refusing to condition the stage 1 physical works into stage 2 (resulting in 2 x construction mobilisations)
- Unitywater wanting "approved" drawings redesigned
- receiving 70% of Cabooltures annual rainfall in the first 3 months of the year (causing Civil works delays)
- clashes with external services requiring a major Stormwater redesign
During the onsite road construction, geotechnical testing and test pits revealed there was double the usual amount of topsoil! This needed to be stripped off – and then adding back that amount of fill! PLUS extra material to stabilise the road base. AND the site is very flat so had to be built up to get enough grade for the stormwater to drain off…
The $$$’s just kept adding up! As a welcome repreive to the many project challenges being thrown at him, Henry was able to gain an additional lot in his approval due to an ingenious stormwater management design approach.
This is a tale of resilience, innovation, and sheer determination as Henry battled wet weather delays galore and clashes with external services requiring major redesigns!
So… how do you manage all that and still walk away with over $1m profit?
