Your block of land will influence the price in many ways, including location, size, slope, and soil type, to name just a few. According toThe Urban Development Insitute of Australia’s 2022 State of the Land, the cost of land in Melbourne was just over $800 per sqm, significantly lower than Sydney’s $1200+.
