Planning, zones and overlays data aims to provide clarity on the following:
- Which local government the property resides in
- What the land is permitted to be used for
- If there is an overlay that may require further consideration in terms of development applications
What we display is an indication that an overlay may or may not intersect the land. When an overlay intersects with the land on which the property resides, planning controls may apply if a development application is lodged with your local council. It is important to note that they are not intended to represent a property’s risk.
Councils have different conditions on what will trigger requirements for planning and development applications.
Your local council will be able to provide clarification or additional information related to your property if there are any concerns.
If this results in changes to the data our data provider (Geoscape) will send us the new information. Currently, Geoscape updates this data quarterly, and we aim to update our site soon after it is received.
