What's permitted in LMR
Single dwellings (Accepted), dual occupancy (typically Code Assessable), small lot housing (Code Assessable subject to the SLHC), multiple dwelling/townhouses (Code or Impact depending on lot area, frontage and sub-precinct). The exact density permitted depends on the LMR sub-precinct and any overlays that affect the lot.
The sub-precincts
LMR1 is the lowest-density sub-precinct, focused on dual occupancy and small-lot detached housing. LMR2 permits 2-3 storey townhouses up to ~75 dwellings per hectare. LMR3 (a small footprint, mostly inner-suburban) permits 3-storey townhouses and apartment buildings up to ~110 dwellings per hectare. Casa Daily reads the sub-precinct for every listing and shows it in the morning brief.
