Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 about property and real estate the military concept front line Frontage is the full length of a plot of land or a building measured alongside the road on to which the plot or building fronts. This is considered especially important for certain types of commercial and retail real estate, in applying zoning bylaws and property tax. In the case of contiguous buildings individual frontages are usually measured to the middle of any party wall. In the United States, a frontage road is one which runs parallel to a major road or highway, and is intended primarily for local access to and egress from those properties which line it. River frontage and ocean frontage is the length of a plot of land that faces directly onto a river or ocean respectively. The amount of such frontage may affect the value of the plot.

cleanup date April 2010 FitzGerald s Department Stores was Tasmania s largest chain of department stores. The chain was rebadged and relaunched as Harris Scarfe in 1995, and the renamed stores continue to trade today. History FitzGerald s was a Tasmanian majority family owned department store business until it was acquired by Charles Davis Limited in 1981. It was by far the largest Tasmanian department store retailer, with a substantial flagship store in Hobart with frontages to Collins Street, Murray Street and Elizabeth Street. FitzGerald s also had substantial stores in Launceston, Tasmania Launceston and Burnie occupying the site of a former theatre , as well as stores in suburban Hobart Eastlands Shopping Centre Eastlands and Moonah, Tasmania Moonah and a small 600 square metre store in New Norfolk occupying a general store built in 1914 . When the Venture department store Venture chain of department stores collapsed in 1994, FitzGerald s acquired and rebadged the Venture stores at Devonport, Tasmania Devonport and Ulverstone . Briefly, between 1993 1995, FitzGerald s operated a store at Forest Hill, Victoria Forest Hill in suburban Melbourne . This became Harris Scarfe, and is now a Myer. In 1995, after incurring annual trading losses exceeding 2 million, the FitzGerald s chain was merged with Charles Davis Harris Scarfe department store chain, with all of the stores being brought under Harris Scarfe management and rebadged as Harris Scarfe . The stores continue to operate under the Harris Scarfe banner, with the exception of the New Norfolk branch which closed in 2000 and Eastlands circa 2002 , while the Hobart store has been substantially reduced back to its original Collins St frontage only.

The effect is similar to the river lots favoured in Quebec , and by the Saskatchewan M tis people Canada M tis people .

The Undue Subdivision of Land Prevention Act 1885 was a law passed by the Parliament of Queensland in that year to prevent overcrowding and urban degradation in cities and towns in Queensland , especially in Brisbane . The law is a noteworthy example of early efforts by Australia n legislators to control urban development and avoid the appearance of slum s. The Act prevented the subdivision of land by speculators and developers into lots less than 16 rod unit perches convert 405 m2 sqft . As a result, most residential development in the older parts of cities such as Brisbane and Rockhampton consists of detached homes on rectangular lots, usually with a frontage of half a chain unit chain or convert 10.05 m ft , and a depth of two chains or convert 40.2 m ft . Frontages of 10 metres necessarily prevent the development of terrace house s, which was the predominant form of mass housing in other Australian cities such as Sydney , Melbourne and Newcastle, New South Wales Newcastle . Many middle class and wealthier land owners preferred to buy two adjoining 16 perch allotments and build a larger house straddling the two lots. One Member of the Legislative Council reportedly argued for a minimum lot size of 32 perches that is, convert 809 m2 sqft during debate. While the Act made Brisbane and other Queensland cities a more attractive and less overcrowded place to live and raise families and allowed each household to grow a garden, it did have its disadvantages, the main one being that the resulting low population density made it more expensive to provide urban services such as sanitary sewer sewerage , paving and street lighting. As a result, Brisbane was the last major city in Australia to be comprehensively sewered, and unpaved laneways were common in the inner city until the 1960s. Nor was Brisbane spared the horror of slum development suburbs such as West End, Queensland West End and Red Hill, Queensland Red Hill were long known for their general poverty and low socio ... more details

History The store was established by John Caley and his wife Mary Ann Caley on 5 April 1823 as advertised in the Windsor Express at the time and remained a family business for over a century, growing into a well regarded department store opposite Windsor Guildhall which is close to Windsor Castle . The business was purchased by Selfridge Provincial Stores in 1919. This group, together with Caleys, was acquired by the John Lewis Partnership in 1940.
