Residential Subdivisions

Stoneridge introduced limestone retaining walls to reduce building cost for sloping sites. This reduced expensive housing foundations and presented full land utilization, with the benefit of improving the separation distances under the RESCODE for sloping sites. Because the product has longevity the retaining walls are built with subdivision and the home buyer can fully fund the cost of construction without hidden cost. Client’s suddenly found undesirable land more desirable and were able to capitalize larger returns. We count Mirvac-fini, Stocklands, Australand, Cedar Woods, Peet & Co, Clough, Links Group, Landcorp as some of our noted clients.

When competition for the sale of land increases, the attractiveness of leveled lots present as more attractive, especially with the trends to smaller lots. Because the material is easily anchored to, a wide variety of fencing materials can be mixed with material.

This trend is becoming more and more relevant across Australia in all states as the demand lifts for better views, and equal opportunity.

Estate walls and noise abatement protection offer further opportunities, as the material is cost effective and has a level of distinction not afforded by other materials. The key to using retaining walls on subdivisions allows the purchasers to

• Total utilization of the lot so less lot area is needed.
• Full realization of the RESCODE separation distances because fences can be placed on the boundaries with 900mm or parapet clearances to neighbours properties.
• No hidden site costs.
• Fully funded purchase price with no provisional sums needed for retaining or site works.
• Enhances capital return.
• Classic and ageless appearance.
