Minimum subdivision lot size for community title schemes
4.1AA Minimum subdivision lot size for community title schemes
The objectives of this clause are as follows—
to ensure that land to which this clause applies is not fragmented by subdivisions that would create additional dwelling entitlements,
to ensure that lot sizes in community title schemes are consistent with the desired residential density for different locations,
to ensure that lot sizes in community title schemes are able to accommodate development that is suitable for its purpose and consistent with relevant development controls,
to prevent fragmentation of land that would prevent the achievement of the extent of development and nature of uses envisioned for particular locations,
to prevent an increased traffic and safety impact as a result of increased lots on classified roads,
to minimise any likely impact of subdivision and development on the amenity of neighbouring properties,
to ensure that subdivision reflects and reinforces the predominant subdivision pattern of the area,
to ensure that lot sizes in community title schemes allow buildings to be sited to protect natural or cultural features including heritage items and retain special features such as trees and views.
This clause applies to a subdivision (being a subdivision that requires development consent) under the Community Land Development Act 2021 of land in any of the following zones—
a rural zone,
a residential zone,
an employment zone,
a mixed use zone,
a special purpose zone,
a recreation zone,
a conservation zone,
a waterway zone,
(Repealed)
but does not apply to a subdivision by the registration of a strata plan.

3 or more dwellings, or
attached dwellings, or
semi-detached dwellings,
must not be less than the area shown in Column 2 of the Table to this subclause opposite the relevant Area, or if the lot adjoins a rear or side lane that provides vehicular access to the lot, not less than the area shown in Column 3 of the Table opposite the relevant Area.
