Constraints mapped in Stonnington
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Stonnington carries each one — and, just as importantly, how much of it nobody has assessed.
Bushfire
0%
No parcel in Stonnington is inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The council has been mapped and none of it is affected, so bushfire planning controls do not apply here — not that the land cannot burn.
Flood
21.8%
18,236 parcels (21.8%) are inside a mapped flood overlay. The rest sit outside it, so the flood planning controls do not apply there — not that the land cannot flood.
Heritage
21.21%
17,739 parcels (21.21%) are inside a mapped heritage overlay. The rest sit outside it, so the heritage planning controls do not apply there — not that a property here could never be listed in future.
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 Stonnington?
Our map holds 83,649 parcels for Stonnington, covering about 134 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 2026-09-06 and is not a substitute for a planning certificate. For a decision that matters, check the address live and confirm with Stonnington council.
