    Hi All,

    I am currently in the process of selecting an municipality in Melbourne to find townhouse development deals. I would really appreciate your feedback of the councils you have dealt with so I know where to avoid, and where I should start:)

    Thanks!

    Rohan.

    How long is a piece of string? seriously Melb is a tough gig at the moment its taking sometimes 12 months to get approvals.

    Start with finding suitable areas that stack up where you will make a profit. At this stage of the cycle it will be hard because land values have risen so much, the last of your worries is Council. Once you find a suitable site then work it, DA approval are never a guarantee regardless of area. I would also employ a gun town planner, they will be a wealth of information and have a good idea on various councils.

    All the Best
