Is Wyreema hilly or flat?
Wyreema is largely flat: the median lot slope is about 3%. Ground level runs from roughly 497 m to 550 m AHD across the suburb. Slope drives site costs - cut and fill, retaining walls and driveway grades - so it is worth knowing before you commit to a sloping block.
What is the typical lot size in Wyreema?
