What makes a Geelong site work for us
Geelong is one of Victoria’s fastest-growing regional cities, and we’re actively looking for sites here. When we weigh up whether we can buy, partner on or develop a block, these are the things that decide it:
- Zone and schedule — the residential zone and the minimum lot or garden-area rules that set how many dwellings are realistic.
- Overlays — heritage, environmental significance, bushfire and flooding controls that can make or break a project.
- Lot size, frontage and orientation — a wide corner block works very differently to a narrow deep one.
- Servicing and access — sewer, water, power and a workable driveway for each new dwelling.
- Slope, drainage and easements — fall across the site and any pipes or rights running through it.
- End values — whether the finished product is actually worth building.
Where we’re looking in and around Geelong
Established suburbs such as Newtown, Belmont, Highton, Grovedale and Bell Park carry a mix of General Residential and Neighbourhood Residential zoning, and the two give very different development outcomes. Growth fronts like Armstrong Creek and the Bellarine fringe run under growth-area rules instead.
Heritage controls through the inner suburbs and bushfire controls toward the coast and Bellarine change what’s buildable, so we assess the real constraints on your block before we put a number or a partnership on the table. You don’t need to work any of this out yourself — that’s our job.
Ways we can work with you
Depending on the site and what you want, we can buy your property directly, partner with you in a joint venture so you share in the upside, help you subdivide and sell, or simply give you an honest assessment so you know where you stand. There is no obligation, and not every site is suitable — we will tell you either way.
