Multi-Unit Development Architects
Kingston Council
Navigating Kingston's bayside and industrial heritage zones with expertise in dual occupancy, townhouse developments, and medium-density housing.
Why Kingston Expertise Matters
Industrial Regeneration
Kingston's industrial zones in Moorabbin and Braeside are transitioning to mixed-use. We understand Activity Centre Zone requirements and how to maximise development potential on former industrial sites.
Bayside Character
From Mentone to Chelsea, bayside suburbs have strict Design and Development Overlays protecting coastal character. We design developments that meet these controls while delivering viable returns.
Mordialloc Growth
Mordialloc Activity Centre is experiencing significant growth pressure. We help developers navigate the precinct's specific height controls and urban design guidelines for successful outcomes.

Height limits in Kingston vary significantly. Neighbourhood Residential Zones typically allow 9m (2 storeys). General Residential Zones allow 11m (3 storeys). Activity centres like Moorabbin and Cheltenham may allow 4-6 storeys. Bayside suburbs often have lower limits to protect coastal character. Our architects assess each site's specific height allowances.
Kingston supports well-designed dual occupancies in appropriate locations. Key considerations include lot size (typically 500sqm+ preferred), neighbourhood character compliance, and bayside Design and Development Overlay requirements where applicable. Applications are assessed against ResCode and specific local policies around landscaping and built form.
Areas like Moorabbin and Braeside are undergoing regeneration. Former industrial sites near Moorabbin station offer potential for mixed-use development. The council's strategic planning supports residential conversion in appropriate locations, though buffer zones and transition requirements apply. We help identify sites with genuine development potential.
Standard applications typically take 60-90 statutory days, though complex sites may extend to 4-6 months. Developments requiring VCAT involvement or in bayside overlay areas can take 8-12 months. Our pre-application consultation strategy helps minimise delays and address council concerns early in the process.
