Integrated Development (Small Lot) Application Subdivision Approval Process

Background

Integrated Development involves the subdivision and construction of dwellings on small lots (less than 300m2).

An Integrated Development Application can be either categorised as Pathway 1 or Pathway 2 depending on the development type as shown in Table 3-1.

Objectives

  1. To facilitate a diversity of housing sizes and products;
  2. To ensure that subdivision & development on smaller lots is undertaken in a coordinated manner; and
  3. To ensure that small residential lots achieve an appropriate level of amenity.

Controls

  1. The subdivision of land must comply with CLEP 2010 which prescribes minimum lot size requirements for land in the Camden Local Government Area.
  2. The subdivision approval process for small lot development is to be consistent with the requirements outlined in Table 3-1 below.
