Constraints mapped in City of Canning
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of City of Canning each overlay covers, and how much has never been mapped.
Bushfire
8.06%
4,152 parcels (8.06%) 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
Not mapped
No flood mapping is published for City of Canning in the data behind our map, so we can't say whether any of it is affected.
Heritage
Not mapped
No heritage mapping is published for City of Canning in the data behind our map, so we can't say whether any of it is 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.
