- Zoning is the primary driver of land value — rural rezoning to residential can multiply land value
- Connected services add $30,000–$80,000 to land value versus serviced-at-boundary lots
- DA-approved building envelopes eliminate buyer uncertainty and support premium pricing
What Melbourne Land buyers need to know
- State all connected services explicitly — buyers need sewer, water, power and NBN status before bidding
- Include council zoning and any DA approvals or building envelopes in place
- Detail topography: a level block is worth more than a steep equivalent in most markets
- Acreage buyers need access road quality and any creek, dam or flood overlay information
