    I have a problem…

    I find out what the land is zoned as and then it means nothing to me as I have no understanding of zoning guidelines.

    Thanks to Lawrence I can tell you that a 2a zoning allows for dual occupancy such as duplex.

    Could someone clear this up for me?

    Cheers,
    Jacob.

    Zoning varies from not only State but from Council to Council.

    Your local Town planner will be able to point you in the right direction.

    Each council has what’s called “Development Control Plans” “DCP” and Local Environment Plans “LEP”.

    They will explain to you the various zonings and what you are allowed to do on each. As well, they will give you guidelines as to the structure details e.g. setbacks (how close you can build to boundaries etc), materials you can use, uses, etc. Most have these available on their websites. If not, you can get copies over the counter from the planning section of the council. Of just call the town planner and they should be able to tell you over the phone.

    Hope this helps.

    As mentioned above, the first port of call would be via the website of the shire or city you are looking in. They often have zoning maps and descriptions of what they mean. Next avenue would be to call them up and should be able to send you a bunch of info. If thats no good, walk into the council and have a chat.

    cheers
