Zoning and Land Use in our City
All land in our City is zoned. These zones set out what particular uses are permitted and which uses are prohibited. All new commercial development requires planning/development approval. This initial approval is for both the use of the land and the associated buildings. A change from one use to another is sometimes permitted without further approvals however some changes do require approval.
To check the particular zoning for a piece of land, use our online mapping system, intramaps. From here, you can check the particular uses permitted for that zone by referring to the symbols in the Zoning Table in our Local Planning Scheme No. 6.
If you have any questions about zoning or land use in our City, contact our planning team.
