A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
Site means a block, lease or other lawful occupation of land, or adjoining blocks, leases, or lawful occupancies in the event of these being used for a single undertaking or operation, but excludes the area of any access driveway or right-of-way.
A site is the area of land treated as one development or operation for planning purposes. It can be one block or several adjoining blocks, leases or lawful occupations used together. The definition excludes the area of an access driveway or right-of-way, which can affect calculations based on site area. 'Site' and 'block' are therefore not always interchangeable.
