BCC LMR Feedback 

What developments (if any) have you completed within BCC within the LMR zone (Product Type, Yield, Suburb, Year)?
​​​​​​​

In some well-located sites near frequent public transport or shops, the allowable building height will go up to 4 storeys
​​​​​​​

Minimum block sizes will be reduced from 260m2 to 120m2 more than 400 metres walking distance from high-frequency transport or shopping centres, making it easier to build more homes
​​​​​​​

Simplifying the development assessment process, so more developments can be assessed quickly and easily
​​​​​​​

New design requirements will protect the character of suburbs including minimum setbacks from freestanding houses, maximum building footprints, and space to provide street trees.
​​​​​​​

Currently, low-density residential properties can be subdivided into 300 square-metre lots if they’re located within 200 metres walking distance of a shopping centre. This will be expanded to properties within 300 metres walking distance of a shopping centre under the proposed changes.

A car parking space could add up to $82,000 to the cost of a unit outside the inner city. To assist affordability, parking requirements are proposed to be adjusted across the city.
