Constraints mapped in Greater Dandenong
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Greater Dandenong each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
0%
No parcel in Greater Dandenong is inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The whole council has been mapped, so bushfire planning controls don't apply anywhere here.
Flood
3.19%
2,455 parcels (3.19%) 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
0.55%
423 parcels (0.55%) 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.

How many properties are in Greater Dandenong?
Our map holds 76,911 parcels for Greater Dandenong, covering about 167 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.
