Jefferson Lane — City Plan Height Reduction
Spotted last week
Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach (17th Avenue to Laceys Lane)
Under the 'Our City Our Plan' amendment, the eastern side of Jefferson Lane (between 17th Avenue and Laceys Lane) was rezoned from Medium Density to Low-Medium Density, cutting the height limit from 29m to 16m and removing the 50% height-uplift provision. The western side's limit was cut from 29m to 17m, retaining the uplift provision.
Investor note
This is a rare confirmed downzoning, not an uplift — it reduces the future development ceiling for affected lots. Important to factor in if evaluating redevelopment potential on Jefferson Lane specifically.
- Major DA ApprovedProposed
23-Unit Multiple Dwelling — Palm Beach Highway
Spotted last week
Gold Coast Highway, Palm Beach
Material Change of Use application for 23 multiple dwellings at a prominent Gold Coast Highway location in Palm Beach. This represents mid-density residential intensification in an established beachside suburb.
Investor note
23-dwelling development signals council approval appetite for medium-density infill in Palm Beach, traditionally a lower-density area. This DA indicates market demand and planning precedent for residential intensification along the Gold Coast Highway corridor, a key investment indicator for surrounding property values and future development potential.
