By allhomes staff
Major changes to the dual occupancy regime were announced today by Planning Minister Simon Corbell.
Under the new regime:
0 Dual occupancy will be allowed on any block throughout Canberra over 700 sq m.
0 Title can be divided.
0 Change of use charges (of 75 per cent of the change in value) will apply throughout Canberra. Previously there was no change of use charge in older areas where lease purposes were described as “residential” without stipulating how many dwellings.
0 Canberra suburbs will have “core residential areas” defined. They will be the areas within 200m of shops, give or take according to section, roads, paths and so on. The rest will be called suburban areas.
