Checking Council Info Before Buying Land for a Kit Home
Planning to buy land for your future kit home? Start with a council check.
Before purchasing a block, it’s essential to contact your local council to understand any zoning restrictions, overlays, easements, or covenants that could affect your build. These can influence what you’re allowed to construct and where.
For helpful tools, use:
Enter the property address or lot details into the search bar.
The map will highlight zoning information and show planning overlays like bushfire risk, flood zones, or heritage protections.
Click on the map layers or download a planning report for official council details.
Enter your address or parcel ID into the property lookup.
View zoning rules, building constraints, and overlays specific to the land.
This helps determine if development or building permits will be straightforward or complex.
