Development Potential:
Previously, the property had a Development Approval (D.A.) to raise the existing dwelling and create an additional livable ground floor underneath and build a second dwelling at the rear. The D.A has lapsed, however recent discussions the seller has had with a town planner suggest that re-approval would be relatively straightforward. Please note that while the seller would be happy to provide all plans achitect drawings and information on the previous approval to the successful buyer, and indications are that this would be highly likely to be approved again if re-submitted, this is of course subject to council approval (STCA), and we encourage all buyers to make their own enquiries.

The lapsed DA plans included:

New Dwelling At Rear Of Property: A three-bedroom + study, two-bathroom home with a powder room and a two-car garage.
Stunning Views: Enjoy breathtaking Gold Coast skyline and city views from the new dwelling.

Existing Dwelling Extention: The existing dwelling was to be moved and raised to create an addtional ground floor space below the original house, that would now be the 1st floor.

Income Potential: The DA that was previously on the property was designed to maxisise both the allowable use and the income potential of the property. There is also the option that these could be strata titled and sold off individually (STCA) to create capital profits, however this represents a great potential cash flow play.

Prime Location:
Southport is a suburb on the rise, with ongoing development and transformation. Its proximity to transport, schools, major public and private hospitals, Griffith University, and the Broadwater makes it an ideal place to live, work, and play.
