Why zoning still matters when land has a title

A title does not, by itself, authorise every land use or building. Planning and other applicable requirements must be checked for the actual site.

The Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning offers online land-use checks and applications for a written planning check.

Practical checks: identify the parcel and intended project precisely, then confirm requirements with the relevant local authority. Do not rely only on a shared map image or marketing description.
