Development Insight - Episode 38
from Sam Black Sessions · host Sam Black
In this episode of Development Insights, we sit down with Ryan Houston to unpack the real challenges first-time developers face—particularly navigating the DA and CC process in NSW. We dive into key differences between a DA (which sets what you can do) and a CC (how you actually do it), the importance of early due diligence, and why engaging consultants—like town planners, heritage or soil experts—before purchasing a site can save you from costly mistakes. We touch on knowing your build costs via square meter rates, understanding planning controls, and building the right team around you to avoid development pitfalls.
