Shaw?
Sorry about that i havent been on in a few days due to work load. Yes i work in Frankston alot as i live in the area, As i said i put a fair few apps through there each month. Ive just had 3 conditional permits issued in the last weeek. I would not reccomend employing a town planner @ this early stage as any good draftsperson should know this stuff as its the basics.
For my clients i prepare the above doc's as stated.MSS response

Hi Wealthy,
I used to be an estate agent within Frankston and considering the first home buyer demand within the area, you shouldn't have a problem selling. There is a lot of new infrastructure going into the marina and surrounding areas, which suggests prices are to stay level or rise.
Since you are building 3, most lenders will consider this a business loan transaction. There are some non-conforming lenders with low rates that will consider otherwise. If you wish for assistance, feel free to e-mail me.
Thanks for all the information guys!
No worries Shaw, I’ll get in touch with you soon, just need to find out a little more information about how I can finance this project once all the plans and permits have been attained.
Thanks also Kane, I agree that’s why I ended up choosing Frankston :] Keep in touch soon. I need to know as much as I can about finance so I’ll definitely get in touch with you soon..
Cheers
Does anyone else have any experience in Frankston?
Or not necessarily property but maybe in building industry? Eg the price to build 3x 2 bed townhouses, approx 14-15 sq?
I was working out $10-11k per square?
Hi Wealthyjvd,
I see you’ve already received a lot of advice for your questions, however if you like I can send you some pdf’s and checklists for subdivision, along with the requirements Frankston council has for subdivision. I have done a bit of work down that way and am more than happy to help you out. Feel free to send me an email to [email protected] and I’m happy to help you out (along with refer you to some good town planners and building designers if you like).
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest Regards,
Ashley StaceyHi everyone, while on the topic, I am looking at a sub division in Whittlesea Council. I have been to council and they say this area is ear marked for redevelopment and would not have a problem getting the plans through. Does anyone have any experience here in Whittlesea council? Does anyone have advice? Are there any planners out there who are interested – I am looking for locals to this area.
Hi Rahrahprincess,
I have had experience in your council and could probably give you a few tips with your development plans. If you would like some more detailed information on whittlesea council feel free to send me an email and I’ll get some information to you asap.
Kindest Regards,
Ashley StaceyHi RahrahPrincess and Ashley,
We worked on the Epping North Structure Plan and the subdivision of the Summerhill development on Harvest Home Road, Epping North. Whittlesea Council have two excellent teams in both Strategic and Statutory Planning. The council planning officers there are well trained, well supported, and very customer service oriented. Town Planning Applications are processed quickly and they provide clear direction on what they will support and refuse.
If Ashley needs town planning support with your subdivision, feel free to get in touch.All the best,
Breece
[email protected]Brilliant! Thanks to both of you. i will send an email.
