Constraints mapped in City of Parramatta
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of City of Parramatta each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
5.42%
2,807 parcels (5.42%) 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
17.14%
8,876 parcels (17.14%) are inside mapped flood areas. The other 82.86% of City of Parramatta has no flood mapping, so we can't say whether those parcels are affected.
Heritage
6.72%
3,479 parcels (6.72%) 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.
