At Downsize Diversity, we specialize in helping property owners create sustainable, community-focused developments. Whether you're subdividing a lot or building a few units, we provide the expertise to turn your vision into reality.
EMPOWERING PROPERTY OWNERS TO DEVELOP WITH VISION
At Downsize Diversity, we specialize in property subdivision consultancy, guiding property owners through the complexities of land development. Whether you're looking to build a single dwelling or explore larger subdivision opportunities, our expert team is here to help you navigate zoning laws, assess your available land, and understand your development options.
CREATING SPACES THAT NURTURE COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT
We believe in more than just building structures—we’re about creating spaces that bring people together, preserve nature, and enhance quality of life. Our approach to development focuses on using concessional zoning and built strata subdivisions to integrate common property areas, allowing for shared gardens, tree preservation, and vibrant community spaces. An example of our work is the Hamilton Hill Eco Hamlet, where over 40 trees thrive on a 760 square meter lot, providing a beautiful, shared environment for residents.
UNDERSTANDING ZONING AND YOUR DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
Downsize Diversity also offers specialized property subdivision consultancy services. We assist property owners who may not fully understand their zoning, the amount of land they have available, or the options for land development.
ZONING GUIDANCE- CONCESSIONAL ZONING
We’ll determine the minimum land size required for your project. For instance, an R30 zoning typically requires a minimum of 260 square meters for subdivision, but this can be reduced
to around 170 square meters for a granny flat, depending on your circumstances. For example, a zoning of R30 usually requires a minimum area of 260 square meters in your backyard to subdivide. However, if you're considering building a granny flat, or if you've already built one, that minimum lot size can be reduced to about 170 square meters to create a separate title. Zoning changes with classifications such as R40 or R20, and our experts can help you navigate these complexities.
SITE SURVEYS
Our comprehensive site surveys will identify available land, locate large trees, map out services, and assess ground slopes. We’ll also evaluate space requirements for car access
and parking, offering innovative solutions to maximize your backyard’s potential. We can also explore options like keeping car parking in the front yard to maximize garden space around a new granny flat.
COMPREHENSIVE PROJECT MANAGEMENT- APPLICATION HANDLING
We manage the entire application process for subdivision, preparing and lodging the necessary forms with local government and the planning commission and private Town planning consultants, if required. This ensures your subdivision or development project runs smoothly from start to finish.
