Land Development
Land development projects in Australia can be complex and time intensive ventures.
The expertise of Lauders Corp spans the full project life cycle, from inception to completion.
This end-to-end service sets Lauders Corp projects apart from many other land development projects.
Lauders Corp is renowned for buying smart and delivering successfully. Buying smart entails a comprehensive analysis, costing and modelling for potential land developments. The initial modelling is the foundation for a project’s success and the Lauders team has demonstrated, consistently, an exceptional ability to capture the correct inputs to provide accurate feasibility for success and returns. This platform provides a basis for the practical application by our highly qualified and experienced professionals across all aspects of the development project. It is the high-quality end-to-end service that sets Lauders apart from many of its competitors.
Taking a property from a broad hectare, agricultural parcel through to a permitted, development-ready project site includes pre-purchase analysis, feasibility, site acquisition and structuring, design, permits and approvals, financial administration, project financing, contract administration, sales, marketing and investor management.
The time frame of each stage is determined by factors including government policy, infrastructure availability and macro-economics. Investors who enter into the project in the early stages of the process harbour the greatest risk but enjoy the greatest rewards.
Hierarchy of planning approval involved in transitioning agricultural (un-zoned) parcels to final planning permit and project masterplan, within Melbourne’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB)
Metropolitan Strategy Plan Melbourne’s maps the vision for growth within Melbourne’s UGB 2017–2035. It sets the strategy for supporting jobs, housing and transport, while building on Melbourne’s legacy of distinctiveness, liveability and sustainability.
Growth Corridor Plans (GCPs) High-level integrated land use and transport plan that provides a strategy for the development of jobs, transport, town centres, open space and key infrastructure for new suburbs (7–5 years to project pre-sales).
Precinct Structure Plans (PSPs) Sets the future structure of a new suburb, with more detail on the land use defined by the GCP. The PSP is incorporated into the local planning scheme to guide the use and development of land in the precinct over the long term. Once the PSP has been gazetted much of the planning risk has been removed (2–4 years to project pre-sales).
Planning Permits Issued in response to an application for a permit to subdivide, develop or use a parcel of land in accordance with the PSP (3–6 months to project pre-sales).
