Navigating Compliance in Queensland Co-Living Developments

When it comes to Co-Living developments in Queensland, compliance isn’t just a formality – it’s critical to protecting your timeline, your client’s capital, and your returns. But the planning landscape can be confusing and varies by council. That’s where ALC Projects comes in.

We’ve developed a turnkey Co-Living product with compliance built in, so you don’t have to navigate zoning rules, building classifications, or fire safety codes on your own. Our properties are purpose-designed, regulation-ready, and strategically located to ensure strong tenant demand.

 

The Challenges of Queensland’s Planning Rules

Co-Living homes are typically assessed as Rooming Accommodation, with rules that differ by local government area. Key factors include:

  • Zoning and overlays
  • Code vs impact assessment
  • Parking and density requirements
  • Building classification and fire safety compliance


Missing just one of these can lead to costly delays or redesigns.

 

How ALC Fast-Tracks Delivery

Instead of starting from scratch, our clients benefit from pre-approved designs that already meet local planning and building codes. We’ve done the due diligence upfront, so you can avoid:

  • Design revisions
  • Construction delays due to non-compliance
  • Building homes that can’t be legally leased


Our standardised layouts are tailored to key growth corridors in South East Queensland, near hospitals, public transport, and employment hubs – delivering both compliance and consistent tenant demand.

 

Avoiding Common Pitfalls

Without a clear plan, it’s easy to make expensive mistakes like:

  • Choosing non-compliant lots
  • Misclassifying projects under the wrong housing model
  • Underestimating council timelines or infrastructure costs


We’ve seen it all – and built our process to avoid it. From sourcing the right land to partnering with trusted builders, ALC simplifies the journey and reduces risk at every stage.
