What is CZ5 zoning in Australian Capital Territory?
CZ5 in Australian Capital Territory is the MIXED USE zone. It is a commercial & centres zone under the state planning scheme. In plain terms: shopfront-and-apartments blocks where homes sit above commercial uses.
What can you build on CZ5?
CZ5 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.
