473 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.
11,931 parcels (9.4%) have no zone mapped in the published data — typically roads, reserves and Crown land. The shares above are of all 126,816 parcels, so they do not sum to 100%.
52 parcels (0.0%) sit in an area where the council does not publish queryable zoning, so no zone is shown for them on the map. That is a gap in what is published, not a statement about the land.
Constraints mapped in Sunshine Coast Regional
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Sunshine Coast Regional carries each one — and, just as importantly, how much of it nobody has assessed.
Bushfire
35.55%
45,085 parcels (35.55%) 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
2.82%
3,581 parcels (2.82%) are inside mapped flood areas. 97.18% of Sunshine Coast Regional has no flood mapping at all — those parcels are unassessed, not cleared.
Heritage
0.09%
117 parcels (0.09%) 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 Sunshine Coast Regional?
Our map holds 126,816 parcels for Sunshine Coast Regional, covering about 2,314 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 Queensland government's own published spatial data, but it is a snapshot taken on 2026-08-11 and is not a substitute for a planning certificate. For a decision that matters, check the address live and confirm with Sunshine Coast Regional council.
