Following completion of construction on a dual occupancy in Miami, Michel Group Services were asked to assist in strata titling the two units. Our works included draft survey plans and associated documents to enable off the plan sales, preparation of final survey plans as well as coordination works and plan sealing to achieve separate titles. Was a great project to be involved in and a successful outcome for the owner.
Michel Group Services were approached by a repeat client with an interesting site for a dual occupancy development in Southport in close proximity to TSS. The site was within the Low Density Residential Zone with a mapped residential density of 1 dwelling per 400m2. The residential density mapping meant that the locational test required by the City Plan for dual occupancies could be met, which left us with the issue of 2 dwellings on a 521m2 site (well outside of the mapped density). With a great design outcome and a detailed and thorough development application, we managed to obtain approval for the clients desired dual occupancy development including roof terraces to take advantage of prevailing views. We look forward to seeing this project being built in the year ahead.
We were approached by the owner of a site at Oxenford that was zoned Rural Residential but only 2,445m2 in area. They hoped to subdivide it into 2 lots noting there were 2 dwellings on the site. They had tried unsuccessfully for many years to gain approval for subdivision as the site was well below the minimum lot sizes for the zone. Noting this seemed like a common sense outcome and the site circumstances were unique, we undertook some initial research, held discussions with Council and proceeded to lodge a development application with justification as to why the project should be approved. Approval was granted and we have since been engaged to complete the subdivision survey and survey plan and also coordinate works to act on the approval. We look forward to seeing this difficult project come to fruition for the owner.
A returning client approached MGS to achieve a subdivision approval for a difficult site at a premium location in Tallai. The project required multiple approvals from both the State and Council, including first completing a boundary realignment into State land, and then pushing to achieve impact assessable lots sizes on steep land. Once the development permit was obtained, we continued works through to registration of the new titles including survey and project coordination (i.e. MGS were a one stop shop for town planning, surveying and project coordination). While a challenging project, through our expertise and experience, we were able to achieve our client’s goal and complete the subdivision of the site successfully.
Michel Group Services were engaged to obtain town planning approvals for 4 units in Southport.
Mermaid Waters Designer Dual Occupancy For this project, we were approached by the client with a strong brief to achieve their specific design aesthetic. Through hard fought negotiations with Council and coordination of the project team, we were able obtain approval based on the client’s desired vision for the development. Key points to overcome related to boundary setbacks, site coverage, glazing and frontage landscaping which were all vital to achieve the design outcome sought. It was great to see the completed product and the results speak for themselves.
Subdivision at Premium Tallai Location A returning client approached MGS to achieve a subdivision approval for a difficult site at a premium location in Tallai. The project required multiple approvals from both the State and Council, including first completing a boundary realignment into State land, and then pushing to achieve impact assessable lots sizes on steep land. Once the development permit was obtained, we continued works through to registration of the new titles including survey and project coordination (i.e. MGS were a one stop shop for town planning, surveying and project coordination).

Michel Group Services were engaged by a repeat client to assist in development of a 51 lot residential estate at Childers including both town planning and survey works. Our involvement included advice prior to site acquisition, preparation of layouts, detail survey of the site, coordination of the project team, obtaining development approval, coordination works during construction stage, titling and as-constructed surveys and coordination works through to registration of the new lots. Stage 1 is complete and sold out and Stage 2 is close to registration with strong sales. A great project to be involved in and a great outcome delivered on the ground. We have other projects in this area which we will update on soon.
MGS were engaged to prepare and lodge a development application for an industrial factory in Berrinba within the Logan Council Area. Obtaining approval for this 4,500m2 factory required coordination with a team of consultants and the project architect and ongoing liaison with Council to achieve the clients desired outcome. In this instance access restrictions by Council complicated the clients brief however in consultation with the team we managed to develop solutions and present arguments that resulted in a successful outcome. Construction is well advanced with the project due for completion very soon.
