Another great result by Canter Town Planning! Planning approval has been secured for a 3x dwelling residential development in Morwell, approved by Latrobe City Council.
This project replaces an existing dwelling with three single-storey, two-bedroom townhouses, delivering affordable, low-maintenance housing that fits comfortably within Morwell’s established suburban character.
📌 What’s been approved:
✔️ Three (3) single-storey townhouses
✔️ Private open space to every dwelling
✔️ One garage per dwelling + compliant visitor parking
✔️ Strong landscaping with canopy trees front and rear
✔️ Active frontage to Spry Street for passive surveillance
🛠️ Why this one worked:
The proposal was fully compliant with the Deemed to Comply provisions of the Low Rise and Townhouse Code, which meant fewer hurdles, clearer assessment and a smooth planning process. The design strikes the right balance between efficient land use and respect for neighborhood character which exactly what good infill development should do.
💬 Our role:
We prepared the town planning report, provided design guidance, and managed the planning permit process end-to-end, working closely with Council to keep things moving and achieve a strong outcome for our client.
