# Subdivisions Fact Sheets

This fact sheet series is designed for new subdivisions, from small projects under 15 lots up to new communities (250+ lots).

These fact sheets support the sustainable design provisions throughout the Victorian planning system.

Use these fact sheets to ensure your subdivision considers all aspects of sustainable design.

You can also use our assessment tool - the Sustainable Subdivisions Framework (SSF).
