Councils often seek to understand how changes in planning policy – particularly minimum lot sizes and frontage requirements – can affect subdivision potential and the yield of new allotments, and how this may influence population growth over time. This evidence is essential for effectively planning and delivering current and future infrastructure to support community needs.
URPS added value by:
- Assessing the maximum development potential under different scenarios of lot size and frontage requirement.
- Analysing recent development trends to forecast future rates of development and population growth.
- Assessing provision of existing social and physical infrastructure, including open space, community facilities and transport against projected future demand.
