Site drive-by: 356 Lovedale Road, Lovedale

This stunning 10-bedroom home is moving towards the finish line. Carpets are being laid internally, cabinetry is being finished and our landscaper has started on site with pool construction commencing soon.

Once landscaping is complete and the home is furnished, this will be a truly stunning short stay property right in the heart of the Hunter Valley w**e region.

How long will the DA approval actually take?

The honest answer is: it depends. Council turnaround times vary across Hunter Valley, Maitland, Newcastle and Port Stephens. Every site brings its own complexities, from block shape to services to the type of build you're pursuing.

What we can offer is a general guide: rough timeframes from initial site assessment through to DA approval and construction – based on what we've seen across the areas we build in.

Every project is different, but knowing what to expect upfront makes the whole process more manageable.

The master suite features a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite with floating vanity, while a versatile activity room gives families extra flexibility; media room, home office or quiet retreat.

Some photos just surfaced from 1981, the first home Valley Homes ever built, in Rutherford. Forty-five years and a lot of homes later, we're still building across the Hunter.

45 years later – the tools have changed but the care hasn't.

NSW just streamlined how your development gets approved.

From 1 July, a new Housing Development Authority is coordinating agency input on DAs and planning proposals. A single point of contact instead of a patchwork of departments. Backed by $32.3M to modernise the approvals system.

For anyone building a dual occupancy, duplex, or multi-unit project in Hunter Valley, Maitland, Newcastle or Port Stephens – this is aimed squarely at cutting the wait between lodging and approval.

We're keeping a close eye on how it plays out in practice and what it means for timelines on your build.

A block that ticks the right boxes opens up real options for dual occupancy.
Here's what to check before you buy:

// Slope and drainage: The right fall and drainage keep site costs down and give you flexibility on where the second dwelling sits.

// Easements: Knowing what's protected upfront means designing around it, not discovering it too late.

// Frontage width: adequate frontage width is what unlocks dual occupancy and battleaxe subdivision potential.

// Local DCP: Understanding setbacks, site coverage and private open space rules early means your design works with council, not against it.

Get these right, and the block sets you up for a smooth build from day one.

More Hunter locals are choosing to build than buy right now.

As buyers are priced out of the existing home market – more people across the Hunter are opting to build rather than compete for established homes.
It tracks with what we're seeing – land plus a considered dual occupancy or duplex builds are more likely to stack up better than buying outright, especially on the right block.

If you're weighing up buy Vs. build – DM 'BUILD' and let’s talk.

Maitland City Council's new DCP is now in effect and if you're planning a dual occupancy build, it's worth understanding before you lock in a design.

The changes affect landscaping, setbacks and tree requirements across the board and on a lot of sites they'll reduce the buildable footprint.

Swipe through the key changes and if you're not sure how they apply to your block – that's exactly what a site assessment is for.
