FIGURE 24 AVAILABLE LAND BY ZONE
Step 3: Potential yield assessment Potential yields were calculated for the available land using a series of yield assumptions depending upon each lot’s zone, size, frontage, location, development standards and constraints. Where possible the assumptions used were developed from Canada Bay Council’s planning controls or local development data. These assumptions are discussed below. Where a floor space ratio (FSR) control has been used to determine potential yield, an assumption of an average of 85sqm of developed floorspace per dwelling has been used. This is similar to the average floorspace per dwelling reported in the BASIX data for the Canada Bay LGA available from the Department of Planning and Environment.
Yield Assumptions R1 Zones The R1 zone applies only to Mortlake in which major development of the remaining industrial site is occurring. The yield of these sites was assessed based upon the site area and floor space ratio control in the Canada Bay LEP 2013, with the implication that these sites would be developed as residential flat buildings. Mortlake also contains low density separate dwellings interspersed with industrial uses. The properties on which these houses typically have small frontages and lot sizes less than the 450sqm cut-off used to determine available land in the R2 and R3 zones. Development of
