What is RZ1 zoning in Australian Capital Territory?
RZ1 in Australian Capital Territory is the SUBURBAN zone. It is a residential zone under the state planning scheme. In plain terms: detached houses and large-lot living on the suburban or town edge.
What can you build on RZ1?
RZ1 is a residential zone, so it broadly supports residential 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.
