A plain English explanation of this ACT planning and property term.
Front boundary means any boundary of a block adjacent to a public road, public reserve, or public pedestrian way.
A front boundary is any block boundary adjoining a public road, public reserve or public pedestrian way. A corner block can therefore have more than one front boundary under the planning definition, even though the owner may think of only one side as the 'front' of the house. This classification affects front setbacks, building lines and front-zone controls.
