Zones in O'Malley
Suburban covers the most land by parcel count: 342 parcels, about 87% of the suburb. These are the 6 most common zones across all 393 parcels.
| Zone | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Suburban | 342 | 87.0% |
| Designated | 30 | 7.6% |
| Urban Open Space | 15 | 3.8% |

| Community Facilities | 2 | 0.5% |
| Services | 1 | 0.3% |
4 parcels carry more than one zone. On a split lot the controls differ across the block, so a single zone label for the property can be misleading. The map shows each part and its area.
Constraints mapped in O'Malley
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per suburb. These totals show how much of O'Malley each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
53.94%
212 parcels (53.94%) are inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The rest of the suburb has been mapped and sits outside it, so bushfire planning controls don't apply there.
Flood
0.25%
1 parcel (0.25%) is inside mapped flood areas. The other 99.75% of O'Malley has no flood mapping, so we can't say whether those parcels are affected.
Heritage
5.09%
20 parcels (5.09%) are inside mapped heritage areas. The other 7.12% of O'Malley has no heritage mapping, so we can't say whether those parcels are affected.
Heritage, flood and bushfire controls on your specific lot can remove the fast-track and require a full application, even when the general rules say you're fine.

How many properties are in O'Malley?
Our map holds 393 parcels for O'Malley, covering about 2.8 km². That is what our map holds for this suburb. It is drawn from the state cadastre, but some parcel types are deliberately left out — strata unit lots stacked on their base parcel, and easements — so it is not the same as a count of titles.
Is this zoning information official?
