Two or more lots, used as the site of a PPR – clause 13
The PPR exemption may apply to a parcel of residential land consisting of two or more lots provided:
the lots are adjoining;
they are owned by the same person or persons who use and occupy the land; and
the land is the site of a single residence including an “excluded residential occupancy” – see clause 4.
Where separate buildings are erected on the separate lots, they will not be regarded as a single residence if each building is capable of separate occupation.
When determining whether two or more lots are ‘the site of a single residence’, consideration will be given to whether or not the lots have the appearance of a single integrated residence. In this regard, the lots must be adjoining, but may be divided by a fence, wall or other structure. However access must be readily available between the lots by means of a gate, door, steps, stile, elevator, opening or other similar means.
When determining whether lots are ‘owned’ by the same person or persons, the Chief Co妹妹issioner will take into account both the legal and beneficial ownership of the lots. |
