How can I check what development is allowed under my Crown lease?
Check your Crown lease purpose clause to see what land use and development is allowed, and check the ACT Territory Plan for the planning rules that apply to your block. If the lease does not allow your proposal, you may need a Crown lease variation.
You can check what you are allowed to build by looking at your Crown lease, especially the purpose clause. It tells you how the land can be used and may say how many dwellings are allowed.
You should also check the ACT Territory Plan for the planning rules that apply to your block. If your Crown lease does not allow your proposed development, you may need to change (vary) the Crown lease.
