Arnolds are pleased to announce the successful approval of a Dual Occupancy Material Change of Use (MCU) for a low-density residential site on the Gold Coast.

The proposal was impact assessable, requiring a detailed planning assessment against the strategic framework set out within the Gold Coast City Plan. Through a sensitive design, a strategic approach, and collaboration with the project team, Arnolds successfully navigated the approval process and secured a positive outcome for our client.

This approval unlocks the site’s development potential while contributing to increased housing choice within the local area.

A great result for our client, and we’re looking forward to seeing the project progress to the next stage.

I just wanted to update you and express my thanks and that of the Committee for your assistance with this matter. I have received confirmation today that the New CMS has been registered without the need for new EU plans.

I would like to thank you for your services with the two site visits to my property to identify the property boundary over the last two weeks.

I’d like to provide some feedback, in that you were both were really helpful, professional and communicative through the process, and I appreciated you talking me through some of the observations/findings whilst you were here.

Impressed with Arnold Development Consultant high level of service and proactive approach.

We engaged Arnold Development Consultants to do the survey work for our subdivision and have been impressed with their high level of service and proactive approach not only doing the survey work, but seeing the lot sealing process through to its completion. They were always willing to go above and beyond and we really appreciated their experience and guidance through this process. You have been fantastic and we will definitely be back for future survey work.
