What are the different lot types in house and land?

There are several types of lot types available in house and land packages in Australia, depending on the developer and the location. The lot type is just an attribute that describes the configuration of the land. Not always, but in some cases there are restriction on land use depending on the configuration of the land. Here are some common lot types:

1. Traditional Lots: These are standard-sized lots that are typically found in suburban areas. They are usually rectangular or square in shape and have fixed dimensions.
2. Narrow Lots: Narrow lots are smaller in width compared to traditional lots. They are popular in densely populated areas and can be more affordable, but they may require specific house designs that fit within the narrower space.
3. Wide Frontage Lots: These lots are wider than traditional lots, offering more space for a wider house design or additional features like a larger front yard.
4. Corner Lots: Corner lots are situated on the corner of two streets, providing greater street frontage. They may have unique design opportunities and often allow for better natural light and ventilation.
5. Battle-Axe Lots: These lots are situated at the rear of another lot, accessible via a private driveway or lane. They can offer more privacy and seclusion.
6. Duplex Lots: Duplex lots are designed for building two separate dwellings, either side by side or one behind the other, on the same lot.
7. Terrace or Townhouse Lots: These lots are designed for building multi-level dwellings, such as townhouses or terraced houses.
8. House and Granny Flat Lots: These lots are designed for building a main house along with a separate secondary dwelling, commonly known as a granny flat.
9. Zero lot line lot: Zero lot boundary refers to a structure being built up to or very near the edge of the owned land (the boundary line). Architects work on zero boundary floor plans to maximise liveable space and adapt to areas where there are high-density populations. It allows for a larger number of residents in a desirable location.
