I was reading through the Campbelltown City Council (South Australia) Residential Development Plan Amendment – Draft for Public Consultation available for public consultation from 18 October 2012 to 14 December 2012.
Interesting to see how they are Creating New Policy Area's and changing the minimum site area for subdivision in the different policy area's. Changes to commence 2013
Some owners will be happy and others are going to be very very upset.
The owners in certain Policy Area's will now have their minimum site for detached & semi detached dwellings go from 350sqm to 500sqm, this will have a huge impact as many have bought older run down homes in these areas knowing they could always subdivide into 2. Many homes in these areas would have an average of say 700sqm, which would rule them out for a subdivision. I would say there would be less than 1% of the homes with a land size of greater than 1000sqm, so very little to no subdivisions will take place.
On the other hand, areas which are within 400m of Local Centre zones, commercial zones will have their minimum sizes reduced to 300sqm for a detached dwelling and even smaller for semi detached and row dwellings, smiles all round for these people.
Other areas around transport hub's and affordable housing developments will also get a smaller minimum size.
This is a huge change to this area and buyers who are looking to buy in the area should beware and take a closer look at the Development Plan changes.

Also I think we are going to see many owners who will go from the 350sqm minimum to the 500sqm minimum applying for subdivision before the changes.
