|---|---|---|
| Primary Production | 9,043 | 50.0% |

664 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 Snowy Valleys
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Snowy Valleys each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
71.02%
12,850 parcels (71.02%) 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 Snowy Valleys in the data behind our map, so we can't say whether any of it is affected.
Heritage
2.14%
388 parcels (2.14%) 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 Snowy Valleys?
Our map holds 18,094 parcels for Snowy Valleys, covering about 5,317 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.

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 Snowy Valleys council.
