Townhouses in Moreton Bay.

Why townhouse sites work in Moreton Bay

Moreton Bay's planning scheme is unusually generous on secondary dwellings, RoL with reduced minimum lot sizes in nominated precincts, and code-assessable detached dwelling pathways. Casa Daily tracks every Moreton Bay listing against the precinct mapping and 95,000+ approval records to catch the genuinely subdividable lots.

For townhouse sites specifically: A Multiple Dwelling MCU under the relevant SEQ planning scheme — typically 3 to 8 attached or semi-attached dwellings on a single lot. Casa Daily focuses on Code Assessable townhouse pathways (faster, more certain) but flags the higher-yield Impact Assessable opportunities where they exist. Density caps, setbacks, parking ratios, and minimum dwelling sizes vary by council and zone — Casa Daily reads all of these for every listing.
