Not every residential site is straightforward, but with the right planning strategy, even established suburban lots can unlock meaningful housing outcomes.
At Ballan Road, Wyndham Vale, we supported a proposal for a new dwelling and two-lot subdivision that demonstrates how thoughtful infill design can increase housing supply while respecting existing neighbourhood character.
The project retains the existing front dwelling and introduces a well-integrated double-storey home to the rear, achieving a balanced and efficient dual-occupancy outcome.
🏘️ Project Highlights
• Retention of existing front dwelling
• New double-storey rear dwelling
• Two-lot subdivision aligned to built form
• 4-bedroom rear dwelling with double garage
• Section 173 Agreement to secure development-linked subdivision
📐 Our Role
Here at Canter Town Planning, we provided end-to-end services, including architectural and town planning drawings, planning assessment, strategic advice, consultant coordination, and full planning permit management.
Our focus was to balance development yield with livability. The design responds appropriately to neighbourhood character, access, landscaping, residential amenity, and subdivision requirements under the Wyndham Planning Scheme. Through our residential town planning services in Wyndham, we help clients navigate these controls and move projects from concept through to permit.
🤝 Consultant Team
A coordinated outcome was achieved with:
🌿 Adaptive Landscape Design (ALD) – Landscape Plan
🌳 Arbor Express – Arborist Report
📏 Next Level Surveying – Feature Survey
💧 TSK Consultants – Stormwater Management
The collaboration between the planning, architectural, landscape, arboricultural, surveying and engineering disciplines was essential in developing a coordinated and site-responsive proposal.
✨ Why this matters
Well-executed infill development is an important way to deliver housing diversity within established suburbs. Success depends on careful planning, coordination, and design integration.
This project demonstrates how a considered approach can unlock the potential of an established residential site while maintaining neighbourhood character, residential amenity, and long-term liveability.
At Canter Town Planning, our town planner in Wyndham team helps clients navigate the development process from concept through to permit, combining planning strategy, architectural design, and consultant coordination to deliver practical development outcomes.
