Permit Approved ✅

We are very excited to have received planning permit approval for our client Henley Homes for a multi-lot residential subdivision in Mickleham, which sits within the Craigieburn West Precinct Structure Plan. 🎉

The Appleton Grove development will support 194 residential lots ranging from 126sqm to 817sqm, and 1 superlot that will be used for a future apartment building.

The plan contains significant open space and shared pedestrian and bike paths that will connect the community to the proposed town centre just east of the precinct. 🚴

It has been great to continue our work in the City of Hume and support the growth of Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

One of our favourite residential masterplan projects has hit a new milestone! 🎉

The Moremac team has officially launched the first release within Precinct A at Kingsfield, Sunbury.

This site was carefully planned to optimise open space, encourage community and allow access to future amenities.

Having worked with the teams at Moremac and Hume City Council over the past 6 years to secure planning permits for this site, we are extremely excited to see it come to market! 👏

It’s move-in time at The Village! 📦

Located within the Middleton Field township in Daylesford, this collaboration between and brings thoughtfully designed, sustainable and affordable housing to regional Victoria. 🌱

Our team supported this project by securing planning permits for the overall Middleton Field neighbourhood development and The Village. What makes this project especially meaningful is its partnership with , delivering homes to women and children at risk of homelessness with funding from the Big Housing Build.

We had the opportunity to tour the site last week and were incredibly impressed by the beautifully crafted townhouses. We look forward to seeing the community grow as more tenants move in! 🤝

One year in and we’ve well and truly settled into the Cowaramup way of life! 🏄‍♂️🍷🍦

James Paull and his gorgeous family moved back to the south-west region a year ago last week to head up our new office! An office behind the local Taphouse 🍺, public art in the street 🐄 and enough structure plan mods, DAs and tourist applications to make for a happy existence!

Next time you’re in the SW, pop into cow-town and say g’day 👋🏼 [Thx for the photos Darcie!]
