Is your Northern Beaches block LMR? The 800 m rule nobody told you about
Since 28 February 2025, thousands of ordinary Northern Beaches blocks can legally hold two or three homes. Most owners still think they own a house on a block. They own a site.
Since 28 February 2025, thousands of ordinary Northern Beaches blocks can legally hold two or three homes. Most owners still think they own a house on a block. They own a site.
Two numbers decide what your block can hold: the area and the width at the street. Everything else is design.
The fastest approval is the one your site qualifies for. Not the one your mate's builder used in Castle Hill.
A duplex on a block you already own doesn't make you slightly better off. It replaces a decade of income in about eighteen months.
The best duplex outcome on the Northern Beaches is often not selling both. It is selling one and moving into the other with no mortgage.
If you found the site on a portal, so did forty other developers. The margin is already gone.
After a hundred projects, the pattern is clear. The builds that went wrong were mostly fine. The sites that were bought wrong never recovered.
The build contract is the biggest number in the feasibility. It is never the only one. Owners who budget for the builder and nothing else are the ones who run out of money at lock-up.
The price is what everyone argues about. The terms are what decide whether the project survives its first six months.
You want a position in Northern Beaches development without running a site. We run the site. You take a defined position in a defined project. Nothing is pooled, nothing is blind.
