The NSW Government's Low and Mid-Rise Housing initiative has opened significant development opportunities across 171 suburbs. Pattern Book compliant designs enable 10-day Complying Development Certificate (CDC) approvals.
Sites within 800 metres of train stations across Greater Sydney, Newcastle, and the Central Coast are now eligible for townhouses, dual occupancies, terraces, and low-rise apartments of 2-4 storeys. Our modular construction approach delivers these developments in 6-9 months compared to 18-30 months for traditional builds.
At Iconic Centre, we take projects from feasibility through to DA/CDC approval, design coordination, and delivery. Our team works collaboratively with landowners, investors, and builders to unlock site potential.
By integrating modular construction systems into the design and delivery process, we reduce construction time and site disruption while ensuring higher build quality.
