Templestowe Lower is about 2350 people per square kilometre. Detached homes here nearly always have one poorly lit side that decides where the first detector goes. Templestowe Lower is about 14 kilometres from the CBD, where older homes have more openings, more glass and often a rear lane. All three change the zone plan.
