Constraints mapped in Murray River
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Murray River each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
63.76%
11,013 parcels (63.76%) are inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The rest of the council has been mapped and sits outside it, so bushfire planning controls don't apply there.
Flood
Not mapped
No flood mapping is published for Murray River in the data behind our map, so we can't say whether any of it is affected.
Heritage
0.82%
142 parcels (0.82%) are inside a mapped heritage overlay. The rest of the council has been mapped and sits outside it, so heritage planning controls don't apply there.
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 Murray River?
Our map holds 17,272 parcels for Murray River, covering about 10,970 km². That is what our map holds for this council. 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?
It is built from the New South Wales government's own published spatial data, but it is a snapshot taken on 2026-11-08 and is not a substitute for a planning certificate. For a decision that matters, check the address live and confirm with Murray River council.
