Single Dwelling Development

Explore our comprehensive package for single-dwelling development in Victoria’s green and brownfield areas.

Typically, a planning permit is not required for single dwellings on land exceeding 300 sqm. However, special cases arise, necessitating a planning permit for properties under specific overlays, such as Flooding, Significant Landscape, Vegetation Protection, Bushfire Management, and other environmental controls. We’ve successfully handled numerous single-dwelling development applications, including instances where clients or builders recognised the need for a planning permit later in the process. To prevent such occurrences, we strongly recommend reaching out to us at the project’s outset for professional advice to confirm planning permit requirements.

Featured Project

Double Story Dwelling Design & Working Drawings

Our SMART Town Planners and Designers were engaged in the entire project lifecycle, starting from the initial project inception meeting through the completion of construction. The project involved the development of a five-bedroom house featuring spacious living and dining areas on the ground floor, complemented by a large balcony on the first floor. Each bedroom is connected to generously sized ensuite bathrooms, enhancing the overall comfort of the dwelling. The resulting house boasts a premium appearance and has become a landmark in the neighbourhood. We take pride in our collaboration with a wonderful and supportive client, whose involvement from the beginning played a crucial role in achieving the outstanding outcome.
