Key Rural Property Facts
Land is defined as being rural if it is zoned “rural”, “rural-residential”, “non-urban” or “large lot residential” under a planning instrument.
There are a number of different types of rural zoning across NSW. These zonings vary depending on your local council area and the planning policies that apply to your property within your area.
Examples of rural zones include:
RU1 - Primary Production
RU2 - Rural Landscape
RU4 - Primary Production Small Lots
RU6 - Rural Transition
When considering the sale of your rural property, it is important to have an understanding of your zoning and the permitted uses of the property. This information assists buyers to determine whether the property will suit their needs particularly if they intend to use the property for primary production. Our experience with buyers who are seeking to purchase a rural property as a lifestyle investment is that factors such as whether the property is connected to town water, the type of wastewater management and proximity to local amenities have an influence over their interest in a property.
