Multi-Unit Developments
Build a Multi-Unit Development On Your Perth Block
A multi-unit development refers to four or more units or townhouses on a single block.
They are relatively complicated developments because the local council is required to consider a range of additional factors. Because of the step up in complexity, multi-unit developments are not as prolific as duplexes and triplexes in Perth.
The obvious advantage of a multi-unit development is the potential returns. For the right developer this spells opportunity, however we’d encourage a comprehensive feasibility study before undertaking this type of investment. Note – for more than 10 units on one block, it’s worth considering a low-rise apartment development, which we can also assist with.
Perth’s Residential Design Codes
Before embarking on a development, one of the first steps is to check the Residential Design Codes (R-Codes) of the area, as they differ from council to council. As R-Code specialists, we can consult with local councils and planning consultants on your behalf to work out what’s possible on your site and whether it will be impacted by future zoning changes.
The table provides a guide to quadraplex (four unit site) zoning and the required land area in Perth.
We also strongly advise that you carry out a contour and feature survey of the entire site early in the process. This information helps us to design and accurately cost a development that is compliant with regulations and ultimately calculate your profit potential.
