What building in Moana actually involves
Moana is 2.4 km² and carries four zones including Rural Living, with mapped minimum site areas ranging from 250 sqm to 4 hectares — a 160-fold spread inside one small coastal suburb.
The spread is the story
A 250 sqm Housing Diversity lot and a 4 ha Rural Living block are not comparable propositions, and a builder priced for one will be wrong for the other. Nothing about the suburb name tells you which you have, so the zone and minimum site area at the address are the first two things to establish.
Heights from one level to six
The Code maps maximum building heights of 10.5m and 24.5m, and level limits from one to six, in different parts of Moana. On a coastal block that range decides whether a second storey for the view is even possible.
Bushfire and flooding both mapped
Hazards (Bushfire) applies at High Risk, General Risk and Urban Interface, and Hazards (Flooding) at High and General. On a small suburb that is a lot of overlapping constraint, and each is mapped to specific land.
What to ask a builder
Ask which zone and minimum site area apply. Ask what height limit applies at the address, in metres and in levels. And ask what BAL rating the quote assumes.
