We’re excited to share a recent success in Greater Dandenong, where we secured an amended planning permit for a three-dwelling development at Ray Street, Dandenong — delivering compliance certainty and flexible staging options for our client. ✅
💡 What Was Involved?
This wasn’t just a minor update — it was a critical amendment that brought the project back into alignment with its planning and building conditions, after a mismatch between permit and construction threatened occupancy.
Here’s what we delivered:
🔹 Approval to retain the existing front dwelling
🔹 Approval to build two new dwellings at the rear
🔹 Option to complete the originally approved 3-unit development in future
🔹 Restoration of compliance following occupancy permit issues
🔹 Reduced upfront capital required through flexible staging
🧱 Compliance Headaches? Resolved.
The client had retained the existing dwelling during construction — but the original permit required its demolition. This placed them in breach of their planning approval and unable to obtain an occupancy permit. We stepped in, restructured the approval, and got the project back on solid ground.
💰 Staging Made Possible.
With the amended permit in place, the developer can now proceed in stages — keeping the existing house while building the two rear units, and completing the full 3-dwelling outcome if and when it suits them. It’s a practical solution that saves money and opens up delivery options.
🌇 Why This Matters:
This is a great example of how thoughtful planning strategy can unlock flexibility, reduce financial pressure, and keep development moving — even when unexpected compliance issues arise.
