About Housing projects

Master Planned Housing coordinates homes, streets, services and shared land across a site. The plan for master planned housing in Australia needs to respond to local conditions, including access, orientation, drainage and applicable controls. Banbury Village, West Footscray VIC by DKO is one project listed here, and its site context can be considered against a new brief’s requirements.

Neighbourhood planning

AE2, Ermington NSW by DKO is another project in this category. Use its project information as a reference rather than transferring a layout directly: slope, street connections and service capacity can change what is practical. Early decisions about these constraints affect where homes, vehicle access and communal areas can fit.

Nicholls Street by KUBE CONSTRUCTIONS is another project listed on the page. For a new build or redevelopment, check how the proposed stages relate to access and infrastructure, and identify who will manage shared areas after completion. Clear ownership and maintenance arrangements help define the long-term responsibilities attached to communal land.

What should a masterplan show about shared open space?

Check the site plan for the boundaries of communal areas, how residents reach them and how they connect to streets and homes. Confirm who will own and maintain each space.

How should construction staging be planned?

Check that each stage can provide safe resident access and functioning roads, drainage and utilities. Plan temporary construction routes separately from permanent access.

Which planning controls apply to a housing proposal?

Confirm zoning, consent requirements and relevant development controls with the local council. Requirements vary between Australian council areas and sites.
