INTRODUCING THE INDUSTRY EXPERT:
Planner Proof Packs That Speed Consent! URPS Town Planning (Marcus Rolfe)

Fast and Certain Planning Consents for Residential Projects

Turning 1 lot into 2, 4, or even 12 should be straightforward. Too often it’s not. Unexpected referrals and requests for redesign can quickly eat into your yield and drive-up holding costs.

Marcus Rolfe has built his career on removing these roadblocks.

As a director at planning consultancy URPS, he leads a team that secures hundreds of Planning Consents every year by giving planners everything they need up-front.

This month, Marcus will show you:
· The team you need to prepare
· The right information for councils that will avoid requests for information that stop the assessment clock. This includes how to best present plans and documentation
· When public notification and government agency referrals are triggered and how to manage them
· How to demonstrate performance against the tests in the “Planning & Design Code” to protect your yield

If you’re developing 2-12 dwellings this is your playbook for faster, more predictable Planning Consents.

INTRODUCING THE REAL DEAL:
NDIS Specialist Disability Accommodation (Anthea Greig and Rohan Clifford)
1,000m², Kent Town, Payneham Norwood St Peters Council, South Australia

NDIS looks simple on paper. Reality is different.

Anthea and Rohan delivered a fully accessible SDA apartment inclusive of a carer’s apartment within a 1976 built - 4 storey building they already owned. No land cost. No greenfield. Just smart adaptive addition.

The challenges? Neighbour objections, long timelines, tricky engineering, and hard-to-pin costs.

Their solution: bring in a commercial builder and an SDA provider early. Compliance, constructability, and enrolment were locked in from day one. The result: a high-quality SDA asset, fully leased to a NDIS participant, with 17% gross and 13% net yield.

Anthea & Rohan will share:
- How they navigated objections and council for SDA approval within an existing building
- What to lock in early with SDA providers to de-risk certification and tenancy
- How to budget for “unknowns” in adaptive reuse without blowing your numbers
- The ownership, strata, and leasing considerations when you already own the apartment building

If you’re considering NDIS or adding value within an existing footprint, this session shows how to turn constraints into cash flow.
