From Vision to Reality:
Fast-Tracking Townhouse Developments
Why We Need More Housing
In Warrnambool, Port Fairy, and Koroit, housing is more than just shelter - it’s the foundation of thriving, connected communities. With State Government targets calling for 360 new homes each year and over 10,000 new dwellings by 2051, the need for quality, well-designed housing has never been more urgent. The current planning process, bogged down by endless information requests and delays, has hindered growth and stifled opportunity (trust us, we see this every day!). We believe that every home should enrich lives, foster belonging, and create a lasting legacy for future generations.
How We’re Making a Difference
The State Government’s new Townhouse and Low-Rise Code is a game-changer. Set to roll out in early March, this innovative framework fast-tracks approvals by automatically deeming projects that meet clear criteria as compliant - cutting down assessment times drastically.
Key elements of the code include a six-metre front setback to maintain neighbourhood character, guidelines for preserving tree canopy and open space, and design standards that ensure townhouses maximise sunlight, ventilation, storage, and private outdoor space. With mandatory energy efficiency and sustainable building practices, this new code removes bureaucratic hurdles, reduces costs, and unlocks underutilised lots, ultimately boosting investor confidence and paving the way for vibrant, sustainable communities.
