Every block on the Central Coast has a buildable envelope: the area left once the front, side and rear setbacks are taken off your lot. The tool above draws that envelope for your address two ways. The first follows the complying development code, the path a certifier can approve without a development application. The second follows the Central Coast DCP, the path your council assesses when you lodge a development application.
Why the two diagrams differ
The complying development code and the council DCP use different setback numbers, so the buildable area is rarely identical. The complying path is faster but stricter on eligibility. The development application path is more flexible but takes longer and is assessed by council.
What the numbers mean
Front, side and rear setbacks are the minimum distances a building must sit from each boundary. Maximum height caps how tall the building can be. Footprint and site coverage describe how much of the lot the envelope covers.
The result is indicative. It is a starting point for a conversation, not an approval. For a definite answer on your block, talk to us.
