We all know how tedious and expensive the Council approval processes can be. You spend countless hours waiting for them, only to find out that their refusal was based on some microscopic detail you missed or misunderstood when it's too late!
Town Planning in Victoria is a VERY common topic of conversation here in the community....WHY?!
Because it's very different to the rest of the country and the distinction seriously needs a specialist in their field to decipher all the ins and outs!
This includes the topic of Urban Character Policies.
And....that's exactly where David Klingberg comes in!
As Director of Smart Planning and Design, David and his team are experts in interpreting the sometimes VERY interesting Council rules and regulations and getting their clients projects across the line faster and more efficiently than the rest time and time again.
In his presentation, David will be covering -
• Urban Character: What Is It?
• What do Urban Character Studies look like?
• How are Urban Character Studies revealed in planning schemes?
• How do you respond to Character Studies to ensure effective approvals?
So, if you want to know the key planning GOTCHA's when doing your site assessments to know whether you should continue your negotiations, or SWIFTLY walk in the opposite direction, then this Meetup is for you!
Join us for this event and learn how you can negotiate with Council and achieve positive outcomes! ...FINALLY!

'Real Deal' Presentation
Then, next up, our Real Deal presenter will be Leanne Stien.
Leanne has been successfully developing properties, mainly small developments, since 2010. She enjoys putting deals together and prefers to buy unusual deals...after all Property Development is like a big jigsaw right!? When you get all the pieces right, it's exhilarating to see the finished product and to put cash in the bank.
Leanne's Real Deal will explore a 1x Renovation & New Build in Murrumbeena, Glen Eira City Council.
There were many obstacles to overcome, but Leanne managed through it all with her inspiring positivity. The development site was 637m2 and zoned NRZ1 for SBO at the rear of property; and when we asked her what kind of deal it was, it became clear that there were MANY POSITIVE FEATURES coming from this project! However -- there did seem to be a fair few hiccups along the way…
Leanne along with her JV Partner purchased the site in Murrumbeena, and the strategy seemed simple from the get go. Build a single level townhouse at the rear of the property and renovate the front house from a two-bedder into a three-bedder. Simple right…!?
Things started off well, they got their plans ready to submit to Council prior to settlement, but that's where things started to get interesting…
So...what were these grizzly bits I hear you ask?
The delays were endless. First there was the problem with her JV partner's finance and it seemed like everything would be put off until every single 'itty bitty' condition was met: you know what we mean right?!
Next up were the blowouts due to increased Finance costs…seriously not fun aspects to deal with, and when finance costs heavily outweigh what you had forecasted it can make the situation even worse, compounded further by the need to request additional time for Finance…Eeek!
So, what actually went WELL THEN...? They had a great team working alongside them, including their builder and real estate agent (the final one at least). And ofcourse...each other!
Come and learn how Leanne's team solved the many issues at hand throughout this whirlwind deal, with an eye towards what happened in terms of bottom line results too!
