65 Ludgate St · Roselands NSW 2196

Rent evidence — asking vs transacted, Roselands · postcode 2196

$1200–$1431/wk is what 5-bed houses in 2196 actually transact for (middle half of 40 bonds lodged, last 12 mo · median $1275/wk — NSW Fair Trading, CC BY).

2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $540 → $800/wk · +4% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four) — quarterly new-tenancy medians for houses in 2196, all bedroom counts pooled.

Asking rents are what agents hope for; bond figures are what tenants actually signed at (NSW Fair Trading bond lodgements, CC BY). No yield % is derived here: each rent above is a different grain from this home's price, and a ratio of two grains reads as precision it doesn't have. New-tenancy rents run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.

Planning & zoning — R3 Medium Density Residential

Townhouses, villas and low-rise units permitted — expect gradual medium-density infill.

Registered lots in Roselands run 330–620 m² (middle 80% of 33 registered parcels). This one is 394 m² — inside that range.

Whether a block this size can be subdivided or redeveloped is a separate question: minimum lot size, setbacks and the council's DCP controls decide it, and this page doesn't check them. One point per registered parcel, so a tower's parent lot counts once — not once per unit. Confirm the parcel and its controls with the council before you inspect.

Zone R3 (Medium Density Residential) under the CANTERBURY-BANKSTOWN LEP, as recorded against this property in the NSW Valuer General's valuation record — a guide, not a parcel-level legal check. Confirm the exact lot at the NSW Planning Portal.

Development outlook — how often Canterbury-Bankstown Council has refused this kind of work

Across all application types Canterbury-Bankstown Council refused 11.6% (10.37–12.95%) of the 2,380 development applications it decided.

Where these applications come unstuck

The refusal rate above says how strict the council is. This says which part of a plan is exposed — measured across all 192,284 NSW development applications, not just this council. Each is an association: plenty of applications carrying these elements are approved, and nothing here is a verdict on a proposal you haven't made yet.

Determinations lodged on the NSW Planning Portal up to Nov 2023 — the published dataset stops there, so this is a record of how the council has behaved, not a forecast and not a statement about any particular application. Rates cover development applications only; modifications and reviews of an earlier decision are excluded. A rate is shown only where at least 30 applications were decided — below that the counts are given instead, because a percentage from a handful of decisions is not a fact about a council. "Approved with conditions" is a consent, not a refusal, and is never counted as one.
