Cultural and natural resource covers the most land by parcel count — 1,605 parcels, about 30% of the council. These are the 8 most common zones across all 5,370 parcels.
| Zone | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Cultural and natural resource | 1,605 | 29.9% |

166 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 Derby/West Kimberley
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Derby/West Kimberley carries each one — and, just as importantly, how much of it nobody has assessed.
Bushfire
57.62%
3,094 parcels (57.62%) are inside a mapped bushfire overlay. The rest sit outside it, so the bushfire planning controls do not apply there — not that the land cannot burn.
Flood
Not mapped
No flood mapping is published for Derby/West Kimberley in the data behind our map, so we cannot say either way. That is not the same as the land being clear.
Heritage
0.13%
7 parcels (0.13%) are inside mapped heritage areas. 99.87% of Derby/West Kimberley has no heritage mapping at all — those parcels are unassessed, not cleared.
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 Derby/West Kimberley?
Our map holds 5,370 parcels for Derby/West Kimberley, covering about 112,657 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 Western Australia 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 Derby/West Kimberley council.
