What is included in our dual occupancy and multiple dwelling unit planning work?
Our work is focused on giving you a practical understanding of what can be achieved on a site and what needs attention before progress is made. It can support early planning, feasibility, and approval preparation for residential projects.
- Site and planning context review
- Initial feasibility and constraint identification
- Advice on planning pathway and approval considerations
- Review of key development risks and issues
- Guidance on next steps for design or lodgement
- Coordination input across the early project stages
This helps you understand the situation before decisions become harder to reverse. It also clarifies likely requirements, practical limits, and the most sensible way to move the project forward.
When dual occupancy and multiple dwelling unit planning is most valuable
This work is especially useful at the start of a project, when the site is still being tested and the approval path is not yet clear. It is also valuable before design is finalised, because early planning input can prevent unnecessary rework and delay.
- Before buying a site for residential redevelopment
- When comparing different development options
- At the start of concept design
- Before lodging a development application
- When planning risks need to be identified early
