73 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 City of Unley

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 Unley each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.

Bushfire

0%

No parcel in City of Unley is inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The whole council has been mapped, so bushfire planning controls don't apply anywhere here.

Flood

20.88%

4,043 parcels (20.88%) are inside a mapped flood overlay. The rest of the council has been mapped and sits outside it, so flood planning controls don't apply there.

Heritage

75.19%

14,560 parcels (75.19%) 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.

Overlays can change your eligibility

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 City of Unley?

Our map holds 19,364 parcels for City of Unley, covering about 11 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 South Australia government's own published spatial data, but it is a snapshot taken on 2026-11-05 and is not a substitute for a planning certificate. For a decision that matters, check the address live and confirm with City of Unley council.
