What building in Kalgoorlie actually involves
Kalgoorlie maps four separate activity-centre codes — R-AC1 through R-AC4 — more than any locality published on this site, inside just 4.04 km².
An activity-centre code is a plan, not a number
An ordinary R-code tells you dwellings per hectare. An activity-centre code does not: density is set by the centre's own plan rather than by the number on the scheme map. Four of them across four square kilometres means a great deal of Kalgoorlie's residential capacity is governed by documents you have to go and read rather than by a figure you can look up. Ask which centre plan applies before assuming anything about what fits.
R5 to R80 where an ordinary code applies
A sixteenfold density range. R5 is large-lot land; R80 is apartment density.
Industry inside the boundary
General industry, light industry, commercial and mixed use land are all mapped within Kalgoorlie alongside the Residential zone. In a goldfields town the industrial land is not over a boundary somewhere — it shares the locality, and it governs what can operate near a house.
Bushfire
Part of Kalgoorlie is inside a designated Bush Fire Prone Area, so an affected block needs a Bushfire Attack Level assessment.
What to ask a builder
Ask whether the lot carries an ordinary R-code or an activity-centre code, and if the latter, which plan. Ask what is zoned on the land backing onto it.
