By block size

House Plans by Block Depth

Every listed plan, grouped by the shallowest lot it's listed for. Start with your block's depth from front to back and look at the plans in that range or shallower.

What a plan's minimum lot depth means

It's the shallowest lot the plan is listed for. It's deeper than the house itself, leaving room at the front and back — for the front setback, the driveway and the backyard. The space actually required depends on your council, the zone and any covenants on the land.

Using it for your block

Compare your block's depth with each plan's minimum, and remember that width matters just as much. On a sloping or irregular lot the usable depth can be less than the title dimensions. See understanding block width and depth and how setbacks and site constraints affect a design.

Lots under 25 m deep

3 plans · Shorter lots, including many compact and infill blocks.

Lots 25 m to 30 m deep

12 plans · A mid-range depth.

Lots 30 m deep or more

1 plan · Deeper lots, with more room front to back.

Know your block's size?

Check your address to see the parcel and its area, and approximate dimensions for roughly rectangular lots — then compare plans against your block's width and depth.

Minimum lot sizes are as listed for each plan. Whether a plan suits a particular lot also depends on setbacks, easements, covenants, slope and council planning controls — confirm with the builder and your council.
