Note: where electrical design calculations show the house or units require higher loads, these will override the ADMD
calculator values.

How the ADMD values are obtained

ADMD values are based on undeveloped land prices. They do not include the cost of a dwelling.

The ADMDs increase in step increments. These increments are at two and four times the median lot value for the Perth
metropolitan and Mandurah areas. The median property price is obtained quarterly from Landgate's Vacant Land Sales
Analysis.

The ADMD calculator reduces anticipated load requirements for higher density developments. There are three ranges
available, single residential to quadruplex, 5 to 10 units and over 10 units per lot.

Lot Price Single to Quadruplex Less than 10 units More than 10 Units
$512,000 or less 4.7 kVA 3.5 kVA 3.1 kVA
$512,001 to $1,024,000 6.2 kVA 4.4 kVA 4.0 kVA
Above $1,024,000 8.7 kVA 5.9 kVA 5.4 kVA
