Brisbane - Zoning and Subdivision
Need a dummies guide to zoning and subdivision potential for Brisbane area (Brisbane City Council if this makes it easier). Residential codes in WA are a lot simpler (maybe just the way things are documented that make them easier to comprehend).
From what I can understand reading the Brisbane City Council Planning Scheme (after waking up):
LMR (Low Medium Residential Residential): site can be split into two titled lots (not strata, normal title) where each newly created lot has an area of 400-450sqm and frontage of 10-15 meters. Maximum gross floor area of 80% of the site area (1-2 storey development). Otherwise if strata (eg. one behind other) situation is...? Does GFA include upstairs or just building envelope?
LR (Low Density Residential): Multi-unit dwellings (I take this as being strata?) will only be allowed on sites over 3,000m2 with maximum gross floor area of 30% of the site area (1-2 storey development). Minimum lot size (I take this where it's a normal title, against not strata) in established areas will be 400m2, except in the Demolition Control Precinct where the minimum lot size will be 450m2. No mention of frontage requirements?
Suggests to me you can split a block in 1/2 and title them (normal title not strata) any site/block greater than 800sqm (or 900sqm in demolition control precinct) with minimum 20m frontage regardless of LR or LMR zoning??? I take it these are colloquially referred to as 'splitters'?
On right track??? What am I missing???
