#46 - What Low to Mid-Rise Housing Means for Sydney with Melissa Neighbour

Friday, March 20, 2026 • Duration 28:33

In this episode of Buildipedia, Mat sits down in person with Melissa Neighbour from Sky Planning to break down Sydney’s Low to Mid-Rise (LMR) planning changes and what they actually mean on the ground, using a proposed Drummoyne development as a real-world case study—one of the early projects testing these new rules in practice; since recording, the proposal has seen community pushback around scale, trees, and neighbourhood impact, and is currently still sitting at DA stage with council, where it could be approved, refused, or pushed further as we continue to track how these reforms play out.

#45 - Why Some Properties Fly and Others Stall with Matt Hayson

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 • Duration 57:53

In this episode of Buildipedia, Mat sits down with Matt Hayson, Director of CobdenHayson, to unpack what’s really happening in today’s property market.
