| Zone | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|

88 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 Circular Head
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Circular Head carries each one — and, just as importantly, how much of it nobody has assessed.
Bushfire
74.09%
5,948 parcels (74.09%) 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
0.01%
1 parcel (0.01%) is inside mapped flood areas. 99.99% of Circular Head has no flood mapping at all — those parcels are unassessed, not cleared.
Heritage
2.99%
240 parcels (2.99%) are inside mapped heritage areas. 97.01% of Circular Head has no heritage mapping at all — those parcels are unassessed, not cleared.
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 Circular Head?
Our map holds 8,028 parcels for Circular Head, covering about 4,956 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 Tasmania 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 Circular Head council.
