Overview of NSW LMR Policy
- NSW's Low-Mid Rise (LMR) policy covers 171 train station and shopping precinct areas, allowing new housing freedoms.
- It enables higher-density development within 800 meters walk, primarily in R1, R2, R3, and R4 zones, with specific restrictions.
Grouped Zoning Rules
- LMR groups zones: R1 and R2 share rules; R3 and R4 share another set.
- Approval for dual occupancies, multi-dwelling housing, terraces, and flat buildings comes with specific height and floor space ratio caps.
Manage Floor Space Ratio (FSR) Carefully
- Understand Floor Space Ratio (FSR): gross floor area divided by site area.
- Stay within 65% FSR for dual occupancy to avoid refusals across local councils.
