Plans and drawings – site location
A site location plan shows the site in relation to the wider area, so anyone looking at the plans can quickly and easily identify the location.
Site location plans:
are usually drawn to a scale of 1:1250 for urban sites, but may be 1:2500 for rural sites
must have the scale bar printed clearly on the plan itself
must have at least two cross streets visible and labelled
must show the site – house and garden – edged in red, while any other land owned by the applicants, such as an adjoining site or paddock or field, may be edged in blue
must have an arrow that points to the north
are not usually rotated on the page – north is usually the top of the page
