Constraints mapped in Yorke Peninsula Council

Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Yorke Peninsula Council each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.

Bushfire

95.6%

17,420 parcels (95.6%) are 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

99.95%

18,212 parcels (99.95%) 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

0.3%

54 parcels (0.3%) 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 Yorke Peninsula 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 Yorke Peninsula Council council.
