The Queensland Government broadhectare (residential land supply) study quantifies the amount of land, which is predominantly greenfield (undeveloped), available for future residential development. A number of constraints (characteristics) are analyzed against parcels of land to identify those that are physically suitable, potentially available under planning scheme provisions and in the case of urban residential development, intended to be serviced with reticulated water and sewerage. By comparing dwelling projections against the residential land supply, an estimate of supply can be calculated and any potential shortages identified.

Additional Information:

Land identified as available for residential development by the study is categorised by timeframes that broadly indicate the timing of development based on the expected date of lot registration. Previous levels of land development activity are analysed including the consumption rate of broadhectare land and estimates of dwelling yields.
