Multi‑generational living is quietly becoming one of the strongest lifestyle shifts across rural and large lot areas and it makes perfect sense. Families want space, connection, support, and the ability to live together without sacrificing privacy.
With attached dual occupancies now permitted on many rural and lifestyle lots, owners are embracing designs that bring generations together under one broader roofline while still giving everyone their own independent home.
Our client’s little 900m² beauty is in early design development, and it’s shaping up to be exactly that — a thoughtful, future‑focused dual occupancy that keeps family close, supports ageing‑in‑place, and makes the most of rural living without the maintenance burden of acreage.
It’s smart, it’s sustainable, and it’s where rural living is heading.

Approved in 2022, one of our mixed‑use Residential Flat Buildings has now hit the market DA‑approved through CBRE. This 5‑storey building with basement parking includes 32 residential apartments and 3 generous commercial tenancies, right in the heart of Belmont. A fantastic opportunity for a landmark mixed‑use project to come to life.

Great to see yesterday’s Newcastle Herald recognising the importance of our recently lodged mixed‑use development.
The article highlighted what Novocastrians have been saying for a long time, this site has been underutilised for decades, and transforming an ageing service station lot into high quality housing and commercial space is exactly the kind of renewal Newcastle needs right now.
With housing demand at record levels, projects like this help deliver new homes, activate the street, and support the ongoing revitalisation of the inner city.
A smarter use of land, a better outcome for the community, and a positive step toward a more vibrant Newcastle.
A recently completed multi‑dwelling development in Merewether. Four beautifully finished three bedroom townhouses that our clients successfully sold following DA approval. Great to see the quality of the final product come together.

DA Approved - Four high‑end townhouses with a mix of 3 and 4 bedroom designs now ready to move into the next stage. Excited to see the views these homes will capture once construction is complete.

Just completed a staged strata on a expired Development lot and expired development contract. Something you dont have to deal with every day. #surveying, #stagedstrata
Another multi unit project about to hit the market in warners bay. Spacious units all with huge double garages and two living areas. #multiunit #surveyingnewcastle #propertydevelopmentnewcastle #townplanningnewcastle
Revisiting a multi unit small lot Torrens completed last year on a challenging site with guideline 1 mines, sewer and stormwater issues to resolve. Great result in the end for our client.

A great result at last weeks Council vote to get this 5 storey mixed use development approved with a 9.6% height variation and 9.5% FSR variation. Thanks to OAD for making my life that little bit easier with exceptional design and documentation.
