Zones in Devonport
General Residential covers the most land by parcel count: 11,659 parcels, about 80% of the council. These are the 8 most common zones across all 14,576 parcels.
| Zone | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| General Residential | 11,659 | 80.0% |
| Rural Living | 880 | 6.0% |
| Light Industrial | 458 | 3.1% |
| Agriculture | 426 | 2.9% |
| Central Business | 247 | 1.7% |
| Urban Mixed Use | 195 | 1.3% |
| Commercial | 95 | 0.7% |
| Rural | 94 | 0.6% |
69 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 Devonport
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Devonport each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
20.2%
2,944 parcels (20.2%) 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
0.13%
19 parcels (0.13%) are inside mapped flood areas. The other 99.87% of Devonport has no flood mapping, so we can't say whether those parcels are affected.
Heritage
6.83%
996 parcels (6.83%) are inside mapped heritage areas. The other 93.17% of Devonport has no heritage mapping, so we can't say whether those parcels are affected.
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 Devonport?
Our map holds 14,576 parcels for Devonport, covering about 109 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 2026-11-08 and is not a substitute for a planning certificate. For a decision that matters, check the address live and confirm with Devonport council.
