Zones in Waverley
Low Density Residential covers the most land by parcel count — 7,799 parcels, about 56% of the council. These are the 8 most common zones across all 13,924 parcels.
| Zone | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Low Density Residential | 7,799 | 56.0% |
| Medium Density Residential | 4,693 | 33.7% |
| Local Centre | 642 | 4.6% |
| Public Recreation | 222 | 1.6% |
| Mixed Use | 197 | 1.4% |
| Infrastructure | 183 | 1.3% |
| High Density Residential | 92 | 0.7% |
| Commercial Centre | 84 | 0.6% |
21 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 Waverley
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Waverley carries each one — and, just as importantly, how much of it nobody has assessed.
Bushfire
0%
No parcel in Waverley is inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The council has been mapped and none of it is affected, so bushfire planning controls do not apply here — not that the land cannot burn.
Flood
Not mapped
No flood mapping is published for Waverley in the data behind our map, so we cannot say either way. That is not the same as the land being clear.
Heritage
26.02%
3,623 parcels (26.02%) 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.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find the zoning of a specific property in Waverley?
Enter the address in ZoneScout's address search. It returns the zone, the overlays mapped on that lot and the lot boundary, queried live from the New South Wales planning services rather than from this page's snapshot.
What are the most common zones in Waverley?

How many properties are in Waverley?
Our map holds 13,924 parcels for Waverley, covering about 6.7 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 Waverley council.
