The information provided on this website and within our "Site Verdict" or "Advanced Feasibility" reports is intended as Professional Planning Opinion based on the Victorian Planning Provisions (VPP) and our experience with over 250+ managed approvals.

Please note the following:

  • Preliminary Nature: All yield projections, building envelopes, and feasibility data are preliminary. They are subject to formal site surveys, soil reports, and final architectural drafting.

  • Statutory Authority: While we leverage deep expertise to mitigate risk, the final decision regarding any Planning Permit rests solely with the relevant Local Government Authority (Council) or VCAT.

  • 2026 Costings: Construction estimates and trade rates are based on current 2026 Victorian market benchmarks and are subject to fluctuation based on site-specific complexities and final builder tenders.

  • Professional Advice: This guidance does not constitute legal or financial advice. We recommend all clients consult with a qualified legal practitioner regarding Title Covenants and a financial advisor regarding project funding and tax implications.

AuArchitecture reserves the right to refine project strategies as detailed site data becomes available.

We advise you must seek legal and financial advice prior to making a commitment on any property development venture. The opinions we provide are general in nature.
