[talk-au] Residential landuse

2010-06-16 Thread Stephen Hope
I'm doing some work on the outskirts of Brisbane, where the properties start to get bigger, doing some clean up. And I got to wondering about residential landuse. At one end of the scale, you have inner city housing (350-1000 sq m lots), and there's no question they are residential. At the other,

Stephen, I am facing the same issue in Bendigo. I have been considering suggesting a landuse=rural_residential tag. AS you state, these blocks are too small for farming and are therefore still residential. In general, these sort of areas are on the periphery of townships and are a transition into

I am sure they are called numerous things, what is the most appropriate/most commonly recognised term in the Australian context? A farm is an area of land that you derive the majority of your income from. Given the drought of the last decade it could be argued that there are many more "hobby farms"

are we mapping for tax purposes? what is it referred to in the local government act (or planning act) of your particular state. not all of these properties will be classified as a hobby farm ie I may have 40 hectares but only grow a few weeds. On 17 June 2010 11:37, John Smith wrote: > On 17 Jun

My argument is that a "tax purpose" is not a land use - you can run a small business (tax purpose) from a residential address but it doesn't make it a commercial property. On 17 June 2010 11:42, John Smith wrote: > On 17 June 2010 11:40, Craig Feuerherdt wrote: > > are we mapping for tax purpos

I don't disagree Roy. I still argue that the land use isn't wholly residential and that these peri-urban areas are a distinct land use. The other alternative is another tag to help (those who want to) distinguish between types of landuse? On 17 June 2010 13:54, Roy Wallace wrote: > On Thu, Jun
