What can you build on GWZ5?

GWZ5 is a rural zone, so it broadly supports rural 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.
