Yarrowlumla Shire ends land subdivision freeze with 100 acre target
The Yarrowlumla Shire Council lifted a subdivision freeze after recommending rezoning to permit 40 and 100 acre parcels within the Interim Development Order. The plan allows two 16 hectare plots, two 19.77 hectare plots, and two 1.2 hectare plots, with a five year plan window before further changes. Officials say the move positions Canberra-adjacent growth and aims to curb malts in suburban subdivisions.
