What is the minimum lot size in Brisbane LMR?

Brisbane City Plan sets minimum lot sizes by zone and sub-precinct. For the Low-Medium Density Residential (LMR) zone:

- Standard minimum lot size: 600m² per resulting lot for a Code Assessable Reconfiguration of a Lot (RoL). - Small Lot Housing minimums: Down to 250m² for individual small lots, with 8m frontage minimum, in nominated Small Lot Housing precincts (typically a sub-set of LMR). - Frontage rule of thumb: 8m minimum for small lots, 10m+ for standard lots. A 2-lot subdivision needs the original lot to have ≥18m frontage to accommodate both new lots side-by-side; battle-axe configurations need 4–6m access handle.

The exception: precinct-specific provisions can override these defaults. Some Centre and Mixed Use zones permit smaller lots; some character precincts impose larger minimums. Casa Daily reads the precinct mapping for every Brisbane listing and surfaces the actual minimum that applies — not a generic figure.

For the LDR zone (the larger Low Density Residential zone covering most established Brisbane suburbs), the minimum is 600m² standard, but the LDR is generally not configured for further subdivision and triggers Impact Assessable applications for most reduced minimum lot size proposals.

For other SEQ councils: - Gold Coast: Varies by zone; RD typically 600m², MD1 typically 450m². - Sunshine Coast: LDR typically 600m². - Moreton Bay: LDR 600m²; Next Generation Neighbourhood precincts down to 350m². - Logan: SN 450m² baseline; NGN precincts 300–400m². - Ipswich: 400m² baseline in some growth-corridor precincts. - Redland: 600m² standard; bay-island lots heavily constrained.
