328 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 Horsham
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Horsham each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
11.76%
2,187 parcels (11.76%) 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
25.84%
4,804 parcels (25.84%) 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
0.31%
58 parcels (0.31%) 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 Horsham?
Our map holds 18,593 parcels for Horsham, covering about 4,141 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 Victoria 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 Horsham council.
