South Brisbane Splitter development

However, if you submit the construction plan to build at the same time as the subdivision, you pay at the end of the construction.

 

If already on 2 lot, you save on the subdivision cost. You shouldn't need to pay 1 x infra fee, but I recall Brisbane council wrongly/rightly trying to get landowner to pay 1 x infra fee even it's already on 2 lot.
Though it's already on 2 lot, the services may only provision for 1 dwelling..so need to account for extra cost for additional dwelling.

 

All looks very high end.
I didn't know you can get shower heads like this... I want the same.

Also whatever you do for the bath, I know you'll get something of quality based on your other selections. That's something I wish I bought when I was doing a bathroom Reno in an IP. Better to get high quality bathtub upfront than to regret buying a cheap one later...

 

Thanks for your reply.
So, it seems that I can save subdivision cost and 1 infrastructure fee.
I have found that there is overland flow flood on the lots. I read other topics that said that overland flow flood causes subdivision problem. However, if it is not required to subdivide the land, just develop two houses on two lots, is there anything to consider for overland flow flood?

Sorry Leo, Hope you do not mind that I post different topics on your topic.

 

Hi Leo,

I very admire your project. You have done a great job.

Are you staying in Sydney. How do you manage a development in Brisbane? Are you relocated into Brisbane or work remotely with your teams (town planner, surveyors etc)?

Thanks

 

Hi @evisional2


I'm based in Sydney but have good consultants who work with me and are based in Brisbane. I fly to visit my sites at major milestones and everything else is managed via email and phone and conference calls. If you have a good team then everything becomes much easier. All you really need to do is just lead and manage the team.

 

Loving the selections @Leo2413 it's going to be stunning. That hotplate setup is amazing!

 

Let's just hope the final tender comes back within budget Hehe...getting it back in about 10 days. Hopefully I won't need to make any or too many adjustments. The appliances in the kitchen are all integrated so hope the builder doesn't freak out too much

Yes i won't be losing the Pitt hotplate that's for sure. it's insanely hot! that's just 1 of a few variations but we like that setup best.

 

Update:

Still waiting on tender, should be back any day now. I have compiled a lists of costs for the subdivision, hopefully I haven't left any out as there are small costs here and there, but certainly the major ones are all here. These numbers have either already been paid, or firm quote provided.

Thanks for sharing. really helpful with the numbers...
Excluding the house demo/site clearing, it comes to about 63k for the subdivision cost...

 

Yep pretty much what we planned for, 65 - 70k.

 

Hi @RetireRich101. How much does your duplex cost to build if you don't mind sharing?

 

Hi Leo
What include in Town planning fees?

Does Town planning fees of $7,000 include land survey cost, soil test, town plan drawing, subdivision plan?

 

If i can recall correctly it included site assessment, site options for feasibility, subdivision plan, lodgement of plans and addressing council concerns and managing the subdivision.

 

about $1150 per m2 turn key, excluding infra and strata fees...
i block had gentle slope to rear, probably added $10k for storm water pumps + retaining walls/foundations.

 

What kind of finishes did that include mate?

thanks

 

that is incredibly cheap? I am assuming basic finish???

 

what ya expect for $1150
it does have steel frame and solar panel which I can promote when selling.
it is mid specs for the area, but will probably considered cheap/low entry where you're building though. low/mid specs may be good for the area I am building.
I had visited their showroom and open homes, seems ok with the inclusions...

 

Its all good, you know your demographic and market so makes sense. Sometimes I need to remind myself that X is good enough for me to make money even though I'd loooove to put in Y.

 

You should check out some of the new builds in Rochedale. High end builds looks so spectacular and are selling for $1M plus and is further away from where you are...
