Zones in Upper Lachlan Shire
Rural Landscape covers the most land by parcel count — 13,686 parcels, about 66% of the council. These are the 8 most common zones across all 20,741 parcels.
| Zone | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Rural Landscape | 13,686 | 66.0% |
| Primary Production | 2,434 | 11.7% |
| Low Density Residential | 1,656 | 8.0% |

| National Parks and Nature Reserves | 174 | 0.8% |
| Primary Production Small Lots | 126 | 0.6% |
346 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 Upper Lachlan Shire
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Upper Lachlan Shire carries each one — and, just as importantly, how much of it nobody has assessed.
Bushfire
87.33%
18,113 parcels (87.33%) are inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The rest sit outside it, so the bushfire planning controls do not apply there — not that the land cannot burn.
Flood
Not mapped
No flood mapping is published for Upper Lachlan Shire in the data behind our map, so we cannot say either way. That is not the same as the land being clear.
Heritage
1.57%
325 parcels (1.57%) are inside a mapped heritage overlay. The rest sit outside it, so the heritage planning controls do not apply there — not that a property here could never be listed in future.
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 Upper Lachlan Shire?
Our map holds 20,741 parcels for Upper Lachlan Shire, covering about 6,759 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 2026-09-06 and is not a substitute for a planning certificate. For a decision that matters, check the address live and confirm with Upper Lachlan Shire council.
