HousingInnovations February 2012 DiversityAffordabilityChoiceDiversityAffordabilityChoiceDiversityAffordabilityChoice Foreword One of the key objectives of the Urban Land Development Authority (ULDA) is to facilitate the delivery of housing affordability. The ULDA's development at Fitzgibbon in Brisbane's north started as a project where housing innovations delivering this objective would be trialled to test their market acceptance and commercial viability in a suburban setting. When Fitzgibbon Chase commenced in 2009 typically the only new dwellings available in the surrounding area for a new home purchaser were two storey, four bedroom homes on 500m2 of land with a house and land package price point greater than $500,000. Not only was there no diversity of product available in the local community but the cost of land meant that there was no ability to deliver affordable housing on traditional lot sizes where the land cost alone could be in excess of $300,000. Since sales commenced at Fitzgibbon Chase in April 2009, the ULDA has worked with our builder partners to provide the diversity that had been lacking in the local community starting with the first "Fonzie" flat by AusHomes marketed in mid 2009 for $199,000. Over 210 dwellings have now been sold and completed with the median lot size in Fitzgibbon Chase 320m2 compared with the Brisbane median of 450m2. This smaller median lot size is reflected in the affordability of homes during that same period where the median price of house and land packages sold at Fitzgibbon Chase was $395,950 compared with a Brisbane average of $540,000. These housing prices have been achieved without subsidy by the ULDA and all land sales are at full market value which means that the affordability is ongoing and will not just create a windfall for the initial purchaser. The price points achieved has only been made possible by the Fitzgibbon Chase builders pursuing innovations in housing design and by non-traditional subdivision patterns. Typifying this innovation is the Avenues product by Ausbuild which provides a two bedroom loft home, accessed from a rear lane, on 71m2 of land under freehold tenure. When released in 2011 these homes sold from $276,000 and were all sold within weeks. Similarly the ULDA has been working with builders and architects to design and produce a range of freehold homes for lots of just over 60m2 and have an indicative sales price of $211,000. This book showcases the designs by many of the builders and the ULDA that have been delivered at Fitzgibbon Chase, or are on the drawing board, to deliver diversity in housing to suit the life styles and budgets of our contemporary community. We commend them to you and trust that, like us, you are impressed by the quality of the designs and the boldness in innovation and would encourage you to visit the project to see the outcomes firsthand.

What's next ULDA....................................................................................................... 60 Housing types House types Villa houses Urban houses Villa lots were introduced into the Australian market in the early 1990s. Initially minimum lot sizes were greater than 300m2, while 250m2 lots became available in the late 1990s. Today in some projects villa house designs are now available for lots from 185m2 in area. The villa lot provides an opportunity for a detached three bedroom, single lock up garage house. Usually the house will be built to boundary on one side. Good designs provide open plan living, a balance of indoor and outdoor living areas and architectural features to enhance this small lot home. The urban house concept was developed by the ULDA in 2011 to provide a housing option that offered the same affordability advantages of the loft home, with a freehold title tenure, but with garage access from the street. Urban lots range from 60m2 to 140m2 and allow for house designs from one to three bedrooms. Usually at least one wall is built to the boundary; although some designs require both side walls to be built to the boundary, similar to the terrace house. Terrace houses Plexes Terrace lots typically range from 5 metres to 10 metres in width and are built to both boundaries. Usually car garaging for terrace lots is from a rear lane, however some designs allow for car garaging off the street when the lot width is greater than 7.5 metres. The ability to fit up to a three bedroom home on a relatively small lot at an affordable price point makes this option attractive to the market. Duplexes have been a well utilised form of construction to supply entry point products to the housing market in Australia for many years. Over the past ten years a number of projects have introduced into the suburban market "plexes" ranging typically from two to four dwellings in a group. The designs for "plexes" vary, responding to site size, shape and slope of the parent lot. While "plexes" are typically developed under a community title arrangement, through coordination of the subdivision and building design, freehold title dwellings can be achieved. Loft homes Apartments Loft homes were developed to provide additional housing choice on Terrace and Villa lots, usually over the garage in the rear lane. The loft home is typically a one or two bedroom apartment on a community title with the parent lot. However, with coordination of the subdivision and building design these homes can be accommodated on freehold title on lots as small as 60m2. These dwellings are often in high demand due to their relative affordability. Apartments are a key in providing housing diversity and choice. In the past, financial lending practices have typically limited apartment sizes to 50m2, however designs in recent times however have challenged this, and one bedroom living studio apartments as small as 35m2 are now available in some places. A note about tenure Freehold title in this publication means "Torrens" title in fee simple, not subject to a community title. Community title in this publication means freehold title subject to a community management statement in accordance with the Body Corporate and Community Management Act 1997. 2 3 Ausbuild Villa house features Ausbuild Villa house with courtyard fronting the street, Fitzgibbon Chase Ausbuild Villa house Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2 Dwelling area: 97m2 Lot area: 250m2 Tenure: Freehold title Sales price: undisclosed entry All images supplied courtesy of Ausbuild 4 Ground floor plan street Ausbuild Courtyard living 6 7 Villa house AusHomes Villa house features AusHomes Villa houses Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 1 Dwelling area: 121m2 Lot area: 320m2 (1 Villa and loft per lot) Tenure: Community title Sales price: $299,900 in 2011 8 Ausbuild "Urbane" Villa house features lane Ausbuild “Urbane” Villa house Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2 Dwelling area: 157m2 Lot area: 250m2 Tenure: Freehold title Sales price: from $389,500 in 2011 entry All images supplied courtesy of Ausbuild 10 ground floor plan street lane Bedrooms: 2 Bathrooms: 2 Dwelling area: 128 -
