Photographs, floor plan, agent and inspection times are all on Allhomes. We hold none of them.
This is the other end of the schedule from Red Hill, and the contrast is the whole point. Same zone, a similar block size, the same statutory move — and the charge is $37,750 payable rather than $132,500. Codified, it is $75,500 against Red Hill's $265,000.
1,014 m² with a little under twenty metres of frontage. The frontage is the thing to look at rather than the area: twenty metres is workable for a pair of dwellings side by side, but it constrains the design, and it is usually the constraint that decides whether a dual occupancy is worth doing or whether you end up with two mediocre houses.
Unimproved value is $669,000 and rising — $650,000 last year.
Where Rivett is genuinely interesting is that the charge is small enough to stop being the deciding factor. In Red Hill the charge is the story. Here the story is build cost and what a finished dwelling in Rivett sells for, which is a question about your own numbers rather than about the schedule.

Before any of this matters, the site has to work
The licence, the charge and the planning pathway are all downstream of one question: is the block worth developing at all? Put an ACT address in and get the zone, the unimproved value, the Lease Variation Charge at two, three or four dwellings, and a verdict on the asking price.
