Minimum dwelling density
7.11 Minimum dwelling density
The objectives of this Plan for the control of dwelling densities are as follows—
to contribute toward the efficient use of land resources,
to ensure the viability of public transport and other services planned for the area,
to ensure adequate funds for the recreation and community facilities planned for the area.
Development consent must not be granted for the subdivision of land shown on the Dwelling Density Map unless the consent authority is satisfied that the dwelling density likely to be achieved by the subdivision is not less than the dwelling density shown for the land on that Map.
In this clause—
dwelling density means the ratio of the number of dwellings to the area of the land to be occupied by the development, including internal streets and half the width of any roads adjoining the development that provide vehicular access to the development but excluding land used for public open space and non-residential purposes.
