What Can I Do With My Block?

Land subdivision and unit development both have the potential to profit you greatly, however, prior to subdividing land or developing units, you must first determine if you have the relevant authority or permission to do so. The most frequently common questions, asked by those wishing to know how to subdivide land, are:

• Can I develop my block?
• Is my block large enough?
• How many units can I fit on my block?

How many units can I fit on my block?

Your R-Code will be the biggest deciding factor regarding your unit development opportunities. Other factors such as the physical shape, existing easements, and other variables will also play a major role in determining the ultimate development potential of your lot and require careful investigation upfront.

What is an R Code?

Your property’s R-Code refers to the designated zoning density that dictates your development options. R-Codes will determine such components as:

• The number of units you're permitted.
• Minimum lot size.
• Setback distance.
• Open space requirement.
• Site coverage.
• On-site parking, and more.

How do I find out which R-Code applies to my property?

If you need our help in finding the R-Code and any other applicable zoning information relating to your property, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll get right back to you.

Types of Developments

There are various types of developments depending on the R code of your property and its overall size. View some of the more common development types by expanding the sections below.

• Duplex (House behind / Battle axe) Development

  

  Duplex developments are where one additional unit is added to the parent lot. These can be in the form of a simple house behind an existing house type of development, also known as a rear Strata or battleaxe development. They can also take the form of two units both with Street frontage depending on the overall frontage of the lot.

• Triplex Development

  

  In similar fashion to a Duplex development a Triplex will simply be 2 new units behind the original home on the parent lot. It is also common for a Triplex style development to be developed on a corner block whereby each unit can have its own street frontage.

• Multi Unit Development

  

  Multi Unit developments are more common in higher inner city zonings and can include a combination of any number of units either single storey or in many cases multi levels configurations which maximise the properties plot ratio.
