Australian Capital Territory Commercial & centres

What is CZ2 zoning in Australian Capital Territory?

CZ2 in Australian Capital Territory is the BUSINESS ZONE zone. It is a commercial & centres zone under the state planning scheme. In plain terms: shops, offices and the hierarchy of local to capital-city centres.

What can you build on CZ2?

CZ2 is a commercial & centres zone, so it broadly supports commercial & centres land uses. The exact permitted, permissible and prohibited uses — and the development standards (height, floor space, lot size) — are set by the local environmental plan or planning scheme that applies to the parcel, and they vary council by council. Always confirm the controls against the current instrument before relying on them.
