Worth knowing before you budget
- Building height
No single height control covers much of Ulladulla: the most common is 11m, on 17 of 52 mapped parcels. Height here is set block by block. Other controls that apply to a meaningful number of parcels run up to 14m — generally centres and larger sites, not a house block.
- Floor space ratio
A floor space ratio of 1.5:1 applies to most of the mapped parcels here (9 of 20). On an 800 m² block that is about 1200 m² of floor area, every level counted.
- Land reserved for acquisition
Parts of Ulladulla are reserved for future public acquisition — infrastructure, public recreation. A reservation is mapped to specific land, so whether it touches your block has to be checked at the address.

What building in Ulladulla actually involves
Ulladulla has a floor space ratio that genuinely dominates — 1.5:1 on 9 of 20 mapped parcels — and 20 parcels reserved for infrastructure.
1.5:1 is a usable starting figure
Most suburbs on this site have no prevailing ratio, so the honest answer is always "read it at the address". Here 1.5:1 is the prevailing control, which means a designer can start from it. On a 500 m² block that is 750 m² of floor area across every level — generous, and rarely the binding constraint.
Height, by contrast, does not settle
The most common limit is 11m on 17 of 52 mapped parcels — a third. So the ratio is reliable here and the height is not, which is an unusual way round and worth knowing before a two-storey design is committed to.
Twenty-one parcels reserved
20 for infrastructure and 1 for public recreation. A reservation sits on specific land, can take a strip off a block, and is invisible from the street.
Four zones and acid sulfate
R1, R2, R3 and R5 are all mapped, and 5 acid sulfate soil features intersect the suburb.
What to ask a builder
Ask what 1.5:1 gives on the block, then ask separately what height limit applies — the two are not equally reliable here. Ask whether any part of the land is reserved.
