In a strategic move that showcases innovative urban planning, JREY Private Town Planners secured development approval from the Sunshine Coast Regional Council for a dual occupancy project situated in a high-density residential zone.

The Challenge: Dual Occupancy in a High-Density Zone

The project posed a unique challenge as it aimed to secure approval for a dual occupancy development within a high-density residential zone. While the proposal aligned with the Council's vision for increased density in the area, it was categorised as Impact Assessable due to it being a lower scale of density This presented an opportunity for JREY to showcase their ability to strategically plan for both short-term and long-term urban development goals.

The Strategic Approach: Balancing Immediate and Future Goals

Understanding the Council's vision for the site's higher density potential, JREY adopted a strategic approach. We recognised the need for an interim use that aligns with immediate market demand while paving the way for future high-density living through consolidation with neighbouring properties.

By presenting the dual occupancy project as an interim solution, JREY not only demonstrated their adaptability but also their understanding of the evolving urban landscape. This approach allowed our client to secure development approval by addressing the Council's immediate and future objectives.
