Hi There,
My specialty – Residential Design Codes (Western Australia)..
Two Codes like R17.5/R30 is called a split coding.. it means that the property is firstly R17.5 zoning and if you want to get the higher density of R30 then you need to meet certain Council criteria.
R 17.5 has a minimum average lot size of 571sqm so you would need 1142m2 before you can be permitted to subdivide.R30 has a minimum average of 300m2 so you would need minimum of 600m2 to subdivide into two. As the block is 1000m2 you can get 3 lots from it.
The Local Government Town Planning Schemes have the details regarding the criteria or they may have a policies on their website. You need to talk to a Town Planner (preferably a senior one) and ask what the criteria is for the higher density and if they can forward you a copy of them. usually it is only connection to main sewerage but other council have other more detailed requirements.
Ktastrphe link basically means that the bonus under the R-Codes for R20 (min. avg 500m2) has no time limit any longer. The bonus clause means that a R20 lot can have a min. avge 450m2 (but only as a grouped dwelling – common property) so if you have a lot that is 900m2 in size and zoned R20 prior to 2 October 2002 you can get two group dwellings lots from it

In WA, the DA belongs to the applicant that submitted the application. The application of course wouldn't be accepted unless you have the landowner sign the application form or provide a written letter permitted you apply for DA on the land. If you don't settle you are entitled to cancel the application or approval because it is in you or your companies name.
