Strata Council I’m fortunate to collaborate with an incredible strata team. We discuss strategies and focus on driving positive change in Strata.

Rooftop and Airspace Development is a £54 billion industry in London, which can provide 42% of the city's housing requirements. Would this work in our cities in Australia?

Transform your rooftop into a vibrant oasis with innovative open-air designs that elevate your lifestyle. Say goodbye to wasted space and hello to your perfect retreat above the city!

Using rooftop space!

Did you know the airspace above your building could help fund your retirement? We can unlock valuable opportunities to create new rooftop homes by selling or leasing the airspace above existing structures. The revenue generated from this can be used to rejuvenate aging buildings and provide a significant financial boost to homeowners—perfect for funding your retirement plans. Instead of downsizing or selling off property, consider how your unused airspace could create long-term financial benefits while contributing to the housing market. Let's turn rooftops into retirement plans!

Love where you live but are thinking about downsizing? Why not sell the airspace above your building to create a new home for someone else? The proceeds can go toward building repairs and boosting your retirement fund.

BONDI: Rooftop home and rejuvenation of the building

Welcome to the team Ludwina Dautovic. So happy to have you involved.

$9 billion worth of airspace is set to be unlocked. Melbourne’s suburbs could be home to more skyscrapers, with developers potentially given licence to exceed building height and design limits on apartments if they include elements such as affordable housing or open space in their projects. The Victorian government is moving to include a “value capture framework” in planning controls for 10 suburbs across Melbourne where an extra 60,000 high- and medium-density homes are expected to be built. The government has set new height limits in 10 “activity centres” ranging between 10 and 20 storeys in the development core and between three and six storeys in areas within 800 metres of the activity centres. Draft planning controls seen by The Age suggest developers could be given the green light to exceed those limits if they are willing to pay for or build extra amenities deemed to benefit the public. The document says the list of public benefits a developer could provide or pay for includes: “Affordable housing, including social housing; a positive contribution to the public realm; provision of, or funding for, public open space; delivery of local movement networks and associated infrastructure.” Suburbs included in the initial housing intensification program include Camberwell, Preston, Chadstone, Epping, Ringwood, Moorabbin, Broadmeadows, Frankston, Essendon North and Niddrie. The Allan government has flagged extending the pilot to other activity centres around Melbourne as it chases a grand target of 1.8 million new homes by 2051.
