Hi folks,
Looking at table 4 of the R-codes, column 2 “maximum plot ratio”.
In consideration to a 1376 sqm block zoned R60, considering a multiple dwelling construction… R-code table says maximum plot ratio of 0.7
Can someone please explain in clear English what this means?
is it 0.7 x total land area = total allowable floor space? so 0.7 x 1376 = 963sqm of total floor space allowed?
But then the minimum open space is 45% of site, so… 0.45 x 1376 = 619sqm free of building… so the 963 is made up over 2 or 3 storeys.
have I got the above right??
Thanks,
emmaOpen space can even be a pergola on the second story of a building
Plot ratio is the maximum foot print of the building.
So you have to fullfill both requirments. If you use the full 0.7 plot ratio you will need to make up a few hundres squares of open space elsewhere, for example a pergola on the second story.
This is my understanding.
You should speak to a planner though.
Thanks for your comments paullie. Will definitely speak to a planner if the block gets thru my initial number crunching. Just trying to make sure I understand the possibilities or restrictions first.
Cheers
Emma
