Can someone please advise me where I can get answers re the various zoning laws eg. What does zone 3 residential mean? Is this only applicable within a municipality or does a specific zoning mean the same thing anywhere in Vic?
Thanks in anticipationread the local environmental plan for the council area – there are some inconsistencies between different areas.
The intentions of the zones are consistent across the state and each municipality has its own overlays, restrictions and recommendations. The inconsistencies Scott refers to are, I believe, more to do with municipal preferences than state planning. The different residential zones – R1Z, R2Z and R3Z for example – are generally established to suit strategic planning needs as they relate to density. In simple terms different residential zones will have different density benchmarks. Each council will have a "schedule to the zone" which refers to the strategic planning within that zone.
