Trees Make or Break Your Project
Did you know that ONE tree in the wrong location can completely de-rail the viability of a property development project?
Stumped about what you need to know when you are doing Due Diligence on a potential project so you don’t buy a dud that is not developable?
What about if Council impose having a bioretention basin as part of your subdivision… What do you plant and how do you keep them alive for the maintenance period?
On the flip side, trees can add so much value to a project making your stock easier to sell and for a much higher price!
To step us through the forest of information, we have Roger Rankine from Independent Arboricultural Services joining us to share:
- Dealing with council on tree retention and tree removal.
- Understanding what you can and can't do in tree protection zones.
- What is a tree protection zone?
- Incursion in a tree protection zone.
- Natural Assets Local Law (NALL).
- When to engage an Arborist and how they can assist with your development project.
Come along to this Meetup and hear from Roger all you need to know about trees and how they impact your subdivision or townhouse development project!

Simon Chap

'Real Deal' Presentation
4 Townhouses
696sqm, Medium Density Residential, Cleveland, Redland City Council, Queensland
Do you have an investment property in your portfolio that has development potential?
Simon purchased this site as an investment property in 2010 with the help of his Mum. BUT the tenants stopped paying rent and vacated without notice! Yikes!
What to do now! No tenants and no income!
It was time to act on the DA and build!
Luck was on his side with a great builder and quick construction timeframe. However, Simon had a few difficulties to resolve along the way:
- Changes in the planning scheme.
- Inexperienced staff within Council's Engineering Assessment team.
- Delays obtaining Operational Works (compliance assessment).
- Delays with mortgagee consent from the bank because the solicitor chased up the wrong bank!
- Delays obtaining On Maintenance sign-off from Council at completion.
- Wet weather making the red clay soil stick to everything – it’s famous in the Redlands!
- Civil engineers engineering an engineers solution - overdesigning things!
- Who's controlling the project? Me or the builder?
- Not sticking to a strategy: build to keep and rent or build to sell.
- Decisions on finishes, fixtures and selections hampering end sales.
Come along to this Meetup to learn from Simon how he navigated through the challenges to achieve good price points on this impressive project!
