Hey there,
Thinking about purchasing a property in the Frankston area with an approx block size of 600 square meters.
I went to the frankston council to see if this property could have two units built on it..and they said their records indicate that it is only 595 and they would not approve any development with a size below 600. She then told me i should look for a min of 750 square meters and it would 100 per cent be approved.
Then…..i obtained the sect 32 off the realestate agent and low and behold it states that the block in 50 feet X 130 feet….which to my calculation works out to be 603 square meters.
My question is…..should i go off the sect 32…buy the property with the risk of the block being just over 600? Has anyone else recently built 2 units on a min 600 block?
I’d get an architect to look at the property, describe to them what the council is said and show them the 32’s. Get them to measure up and see what they think. We’ve used a mob called Clear Design down there, might be worth a while.
D.
Further, in Frankston, there are different zonings that determine block size, I know that there are some places in Frankston that are very development friendly and have had block sizes as small as 250m2 post subdivision. 300m2 sounds like more the norm in the area though. Bottom line, if the council is saying that they won’t approve a subdivision, they are the ones that matter, so I’d probably leave it go.
