Land for building house for owrkers as top priority năm 2024
Future Homes does not mandate a minimum lot size. The designs have been created for two standard General Residential Zone lots, which is typically 1200sqm. The designs are adaptable, but if your total site area is below 900sqm it is unlikely that it will be suitable for a Future Homes design. Show
Use the interactive Future Homes map to see eligible lots in all of Victoria. Future Homes Potential Lots Map Once you have confirmed the site is eligible, there are mandatory planning requirements to be considered. Building Future Homes adaptation guideThe adaptation guide supports:
The guide ensures an adapted design fulfils the intent and ambitions of Future Homes – delivering apartments that are great homes, great neighbours and great for the environment. It has been created to:

Future Homes planning approvalA streamlined planning process has been created for all Future Homes adaptations. When you purchase a Future Homes design you will automatically be given access to this new process. After you have confirmed the site is eligible and selected a design, there are 4 phases in the planning approval process:
Select and exemplar design Phase 1: Design adaption and initiation meeting
Phase 2: Referrals: DTP and authorities
Amendments as required
Phase 3: Council lodgements and community notice
Phase 4: Delegated decision
(Timeframes provided are indicative) Phase 1: Project initiationThe applicant determines the timing of this phase. In this phase, the applicant:
Phase 2: ReferralsThe timing of this phase is approximately 21 business days. In this phase the applicant submits a pre-application referral to us and other authorities as required, for example Melbourne Water and Transport for Victoria. We recommend referrals to Melbourne Water and Transport for Victoria be undertaken first, before referrals to DTP, as referrals to Melbourne Water and Transport for Victoria may change the planning and layout of the design selected. We will:
The applicant will then submit revised plans, if required. We will review the revised plans and issue formal referral advice that will accompany the planning permit application. If the site is within a flood related overlay additional time may be required for Melbourne Water to respond. Phase 3: Application lodgementThe timing of this phase is anticipated to be between 18-21 statutory days. In this phase, the applicant submits the adapted design and supporting material, including our referral advice, to the relevant council as the responsible authority. All major planning and design matters will have already been resolved in Phase 2. Once the application is lodged, council will:
In the notification letter council will identify that submissions received can only be considered against the requirements of the Future Homes provision and that third party appeal rights are not applicable. However, if the site is covered by an overlay, third party appeal rights are applicable in relation to those overlays only. Phase 4: DecisionThe timing of this phase is anticipated to be between 14-20 statutory days. In this phase, council will:
The Future Homes provision at clause 53.24 does not include third party appeal rights (when no overlays affect the site), therefore once an application is deemed to satisfy the relevant requirements, council can issue a permit. Future Homes and overlaysFuture Homes is now eligible on sites that are covered by overlays (excluding Heritage Overlay and Neighbourhood Character Overlay). This means that if your site is covered by an overlay, the Future Homes team will work with you upfront to ensure your application responds to and meets the requirements of that overlay. If your Future Homes site is affected by an overlay, you will need to be aware of the following:
A Future Homes site that is affected by an overlay could increase the indicative timeframes, however the Future Homes approval process has been front loaded, to ensure any issues are worked through early and to create more certainty in the planning process. Post-permit mattersOnce a planning permit is issued there may be some additional amendments required by council or by the applicant. The following may apply:
Will neighbours be notified?Just like any other planning permit application, if you live next door to a site that has an apartment development proposal you will receive notification from your local council about the application. It is at this point you may choose to provide feedback to the council. Residents may choose to:
You can have confidence that the designs of a Future Homes proposal are of an exemplary standard, and have undergone a rigorous assessment process by DTP, including the OVGA, prior to council receiving the application. Third-party appealsA faster planning process does not mean a poorer outcome or that the community doesn’t have a say. Future Homes planning applications are advertised to adjoining properties, allowing neighbours to provide comments and feedback. However, unlike a regular planning application, if the site is not affected by any overlay controls, there are no third-party appeal rights. This means that after council makes a decision on an application, the decision cannot be appealed by an objector to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. If your site is affected by an overlay, third party appeal rights are possible in relation to the overlay. A decision by council can be appealed by an objector to the Victoria Civil and Administrative Tribunal in relation to the applicable overlay. To facilitate applicants building Future Homes, there must be a balance to offset the cost of delivering high quality homes with a faster planning process. There are multiple checks throughout the planning process, with both DTP and the OVGA involved before council considers the application. Sites in flood prone areasMelbourne Water have partnered with us to help facilitate Future Homes. We recommend you contact Melbourne Water before purchasing a design to determine whether an apartment development is appropriate for your site. Preparing your referralFuture Homes and the streamlined planning process is endorsed by Melbourne Water. Melbourne Water has committed to reviewing your adaptation prior to your permit application to council – phase 2 in the planning process. This means you:

Which land is best for house construction?For civil construction firstpreference are plots of land on nonfossil organic soils with a low base of subterranean water. As relevant, the least preference should be given to the areas on uplift soils with a high level of underground water. Sands and clay loam soils are classified as non-stony soils. What is a good size block of land?Like we said before, a good size block of land will come down to personal preference. But, if you have a specific home design you want, then that may determine the block size you need. An average, 4-bedroom home with a backyard and a double garage will need around 450-500 square metres. And a 10.5m frontage. Will house prices drop in 2024 Australia?Average house price growth is likely to be lower Australia-wide in 2024 than it was in 2023. Household disposable income growth will be constrained for much of this year. Partly this will reflect further weakening of the jobs market. And I am not forecasting interest rate reductions until the end of this year. How do you prepare land for building?Here're the processes involved when preparing the site for constructing most types of houses:. Cut and Fill. ... . Clearing. ... . Stump Removal. ... . Grading and Leveling. ... . Amenities. ... . Soil Testing. ... . Termite Barrier. ... . Retaining Walls.. |
