The area south of Haig Park, which includes Lonsdale Street, is zoned for mixed‑use developments. Typical allowances are up to 22 m (about 6‑7 storeys) with reduced heights of 16 m (5 storeys) along Torrens Street and up to 30 m (roughly 10 storeys) facing Cooyong Street.
How accessible is the location for employees and customers?

Which types of businesses are most suited to this area?
Braddon’s commercial corridor hosts art galleries, boutique retailers, cafés, restaurants, bars and service‑oriented shops, making it ideal for creative, hospitality and retail concepts. The vibrant foot traffic and proximity to the CBD also support professional and co‑working spaces.

Are there any heritage or planning considerations for development?
The surrounding Braddon Garden City heritage precinct and the former Coggan’s Bakery are heritage‑listed, so any development must respect these designations. Consultation with the ACT Heritage Council may be required to ensure compliance.
