Interesting NEWS for all my dear property developers friends: A dear friend and Architect Extraordinaire, John Herniman, alerted me to some interesting developments (pardon the pun) as follows: In The Age Newspaper on 31 August 2024 The Age produced an article and a series of “leaked” documents showing that the State government is about to substantially change the planning laws to meet targets for delivery of new homes, units and apartments.   This will affect all people involved in property in Victoria.   It is not planning law yet but they are proposing in General Residential Zoning: - Substantial reduction of neighbours’ ability to appeal if the proposal meets new “deemed to comply” regulations. Developers will still be able to appeal to VCAT. - The removal of “neighbourhood character” rules. - Reduction of waiting times. - Heights and setbacks will change substantially to enable 3 stories with 11m height limit and reduced setbacks from side boundaries and external walls to go straight upwards without the requirement for the expensive “wedding cake” design. This current B17 standard in clause 55 of the planning scheme is represented by the dashed blue line, whilst the red highlights the new planning provisions.  - The buildings footprint to go from 60% to 80% site coverage. - Setbacks from front street to vary from between 4 m to 6 m - Nonsignificant trees will be able to be removed with conditions. - Overlooking reduced from 9 m to 6 m and screen heights to be reduced from 1.7 m to 1.5 m. - Reduction in the amount of private open space. - Space for rooftop solar collectors.   Summary - In General Residential Zoning the speed for obtaining permits will be significantly improved and the risk for developers reduced. - The reduction in setbacks and other conditions will mean a greater number of apartments will be able to be built on the same sized land. - Reduced screening will mean that balconies will have better amenity. If you are planning a development or have been contemplating it, contact John Herniman and/or myself and we'll help you through the journey. #accountant #advisor #virtualcfo #coach #mentor #author

LIHTC is a vital tool for financing affordable housing, offering a 9% tax credit that can cover a substantial portion of the costs for new constructions and major rehabilitations without additional federal subsidies. This makes a significant difference, especially in high-cost areas where affordable housing is desperately needed. With expedited permits, developers can fast-track their projects, ensuring they meet funding deadlines and maximize these valuable tax credits. For example, a project with a qualified basis of $1 million can receive $900,000 in tax credits over 10 years, translating to a present value of $700,000 – a 70% subsidy! This means more affordable housing units can be built faster, addressing the critical housing shortage. Ready to increase your project's equity with expedited permits and LIHTC?

Affordable Housing Changes - Are you being advised correctly? This is well worth considering if you are a landowner embarking on redevelopment at the moment. Recent case law and forthcoming changes to the planning system will limit developers opportunity to remove or avoid affordable housing obligations on viability grounds. So if you are entering into a conditional agreement or option and the developer has confirmed their affordable strategy as 'we will argue it out on viability' then perhaps it would be prudent to think again. New rule are basing viability on eventual sale values and not projected values, and projects are expected to deliver the 'maximum reasonable amount of affordable housing'. If you are not sure that you are being advised correctly or your current agent perhaps need some support then do get in touch; this wont prevent developing your land but could have a huge impact on its value depending on your agreement if their strategy fails. - - - #newhomes #landandnewhomes #developers #developments #sussex #estateagents #commercialagents #planning #planners #architects #architecture #showhomes #land #landandnewhomesorganisation
