Constraints mapped in City of West Torrens
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 West Torrens each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
0%
1 parcel (0%) is 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
100%
32,614 parcels (100%) 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
6.19%
2,018 parcels (6.19%) 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.
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.
