How do I find out which zone my property is in?
You can find your property's zoning using ACTmapi, the ACT Government's official online mapping tool. Search for your property and use the Territory Plan Map to view its zone, such as RZ1 – Suburban Zone or another residential zone. ACT Planning specifically recommends ACTmapi for finding a block's zone details and potential site considerations.
Once you know the zone, check the Territory Plan to determine what development is permitted and which planning requirements apply to the property.
Short Answer
Use ACTmapi and search for your property using the Territory Plan Map. It will show your block's zoning. You can then check the Territory Plan for the development requirements that apply to that zone.
Detailed Explanation
Land-use zoning in the ACT is established under the Territory Plan. Property-specific zoning can be identified through ACTmapi, which contains Territory Plan land-use policies and overlays and allows individual blocks to be queried.
After identifying the zone, the applicable Territory Plan zone and district policies should be consulted to determine the development and assessment requirements applying to the land.
No minimum block size does not remove the need for planning assessment.
