Lot Area: 4,136sqm

Housing Type: Single Storey Strata

Project Overview

Led by Senior Development Consultant Adrian Johnson, Summit Developments was engaged to transform a substantial Bayswater site into a thoughtfully designed residential community. With a lot size of 4,136 sqm and an R30 zoning classification, the team carefully assessed the site’s potential and determined that a 10-dwelling development around the existing home would provide the ideal balance of yield, quality, and market appeal.

Bayswater was selected for its growing popularity, excellent access to major transport routes, proximity to the town centre, and convenience for FIFO workers—making it an appealing location for both owner-occupiers and investors.

Development Strategy

Rather than pursuing a higher-density development, 10 new homes were created surrounding the existing house, maximising the site’s potential while appealing to the target market. By limiting the number of dwellings, each home offers generous living spaces designed for modern family life, enhancing both lifestyle appeal and investment value. Each property features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a dedicated theatre room, making them attractive to both owner-occupiers and investors.

Planning and Approvals

The Bayswater site presented several planning considerations, including high-density tree zones, acoustic treatments due to nearby train stations and highways, and existing gas line infrastructure. Summit engaged a team of experts to navigate these requirements, ensuring all designs met council regulations. The in-house design team optimised layouts and design elements to deliver a high-quality outcome that maximised the site’s potential.

Transparency and collaboration with the client were key to the project’s success, enabling Summit to adapt solutions where others might have overlooked opportunities.

Project Outcome

The development was met with strong demand, with over half of the homes selling within one to two weeks of completion. The project achieved a successful outcome for the client and led to repeat engagements, with additional developments now underway.

Conclusion

The Bayswater development highlights Summit Developments’ ability to maximise site potential while targeting the ideal market, navigate complex planning and council requirements, and deliver quality homes that sell quickly and provide exceptional returns.

Through strategic planning, expert design, and a hands-on approach, Summit ensured the project not only met client expectations but exceeded them, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner in residential developments.
