What is NUZ2 zoning in Australian Capital Territory?
NUZ2 in Australian Capital Territory is the RURAL zone. It is a rural zone under the state planning scheme. In plain terms: farming, primary production, rural living and village edges.
What can you build on NUZ2?
NUZ2 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.
