I'll be going through the town planning basics / tips (NOT a boring town planning lecture) that apply to all states in Australia: NSW, VIC, WA, ACT, TAS, NT, SA, QLD. In particular, Sydney and Perth can be a complicated area for town planning (various design codes in Sydney and a range of town planning schemes in Perth).
The basic concepts of Australian Town Planning include state based town planning which covers the metropolitan area followed by town planning at a local government level. The local government documents (town planning scheme + map) are more granular covering density, building height, building bulk, parking and permitted uses.
Town planning's main impacts on property development include the permitted use or density of a site, allowable building height, building bulk or scale and car parking. I'll go through the basics and tips to understand each of these areas of town planning in Australia.
