280 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.
551 parcels (5.5%) have no zone mapped in the published data — typically roads, reserves and Crown land. The shares above are of all 9,938 parcels, so they do not sum to 100%.
Constraints mapped in Town of Port Hedland
Overlays decide what you can actually build, and they are mapped per property rather than per council. These totals show how much of Town of Port Hedland carries each one — and, just as importantly, how much of it nobody has assessed.
Bushfire
28.09%
2,792 parcels (28.09%) 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 Town of Port Hedland in the data behind our map, so we cannot say either way. That is not the same as the land being clear.
Heritage
Not mapped
No heritage mapping is published for Town of Port Hedland in the data behind our map, so we cannot say either way. That is not the same as the land being clear.
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.
