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). 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 by a repeat client to assist in development of a 51 lot residential estate at Childers including both town planning and survey works.

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.

Instead of opting for a standard duplex development, our clients are pursuing a more desirable development, being 2 x dwellings on 2 x freehold allotments. We carried out a successful development application, obtaining the combined development approval, and were able assist our client in the plan sealing process so that separate land titles could be created for separate lot sales. Said client is a return customer, which we look forward to working with again.

Pimpama is a fast growing and busy suburb of the Gold Coast and Michel Group Services have been working on a townhouse project there since its inception including due diligence and initial development advice, detail survey to facilitate building design, being lead consultant for the development application phase and successfully obtaining development approval. Post approval we also undertook several amendments to the approval to achieve a more modern design aesthetic and an improved layout to meet market demand. This post approval work also identified the opportunity to achieve an additional two units and we successfully updated the development approval to a total of 71 units. Post construction we were project surveyor including bulk earthworks and construction setout, as-constructed surveys and ADAC files for the civil works and cadastral surveys for strata titling. Our town planning team also undertook a coordination role and were lead consultant for the plan sealing process for all stages of the project. This was a project undertaken over several years for a repeat client who we look forward to working with on future projects.
