Development Plan - City of Playford - SA.Gov.au

Terrace lots have been developed throughout metropolitan Adelaide, mainly in the inner and middle
suburbs over the last 20 years. The success of this form of development often depends on the
design detail incorporated within the laneway and the interconnectivity of the lanes to enable
appropriate servicing. Their benefits lie in the ability to increase densities through the use of
terrace housing with narrow frontages, with garaging of vehicles taken off the main streets with
access from the rear lanes. This results in attractive streetscapes together with additional on street
parking due to a reduced need for vehicle crossovers.
Typical areas/dimensions are:
1. 5.1m x 25m (128m 2 )
2. 5.5m x 25m (137m 2 )
3. 7.5m x 25m (187m 2 )
4. 8.5m x 25m (212m 2 )
Apartments
Medium density sites offer an alternative living option, varied streetscapes and affordable, low
maintenance community titled living.
These products are also well suited around the major village centre, on the doorstep of the
neighbourhood shops, cafe lifestyle, etc.
Standard depth lots
These lots maintain the traditional depth of 30 metres. However a full array of frontages are
accommodated ranging from the more traditional widths of 15m and above, to the more innovative
(6-8m) which typically are best suited as accommodating two storey ‘terrace product” with direct
interface to reserves, with vehicle access from the rear. Typical areas/dimensions are:
• 600sqm – 20 x 30m;
• 540sqm – 18 x 30m;
• 450sqm – 15 x 30m;
• 420sqm – 14 x 30m
• 375sqm – 12.5 x 30m;
• 300sqm – 10 x 30m;
• 240sqm – 8 x 30m;
