Flinders: planning zones, bushfire codes

The 18 planning zones mapped in Flinders, Tasmania, the hazard codes counted address by address, and which registers cover the council.

A report can be bought for most addresses in Flinders that are in the state address register, $9.90 including GST, paid once. This page is the free part: what the Tasmanian planning registers hold for the council. The report is for one address, and reads the planning, heritage and hazard registers listed below for it. Check an address in Flinders first: the check is free and states the total before you pay.

What this page covers

This page covers Flinders’s part of the Tasmanian Planning Scheme: its zones, its codes, and the hazard codes counted below as its Local Provisions Schedule maps them. Declared landslip areas, and land the building rules treat as bushfire-prone where the map does not show it, are not counted here. This page carries no recorded crime: we hold none for Tasmania, and a heading with nothing under it reads as though there is none to hold.

The local instrument the register names here is Flinders Local Provisions Schedule.

Share of addresses on land each map shows, counted among the addresses where that map applies: what the government maps show, not a risk rating. Hatched: no map covers most of the council (its Local Provisions Schedule maps none, or the planning scheme that applies is not one these counts cover); dotted: a map covers only part of the council, or records its own classes, so no share.

  • Flood-prone areas The Flinders Local Provisions Schedule maps no flood-prone area, so nobody has mapped it here. That is not a finding that the land is clear. A flood-prone area is a planning map, not a flood model: overland flow is often not in it. The code can also apply to land this map does not show, where the council has other evidence the land can flood. Flood-prone areas by council, on our map.
Not mapped: no share is given, and none is implied. A code the council’s schedule does not map, or a planning scheme these counts do not cover, is not a finding that the land is clear; the council can say what applies.

  • 710 on the map at the address point

The planning scheme and the building rules also treat land within 100 m of 1 ha or more of bushfire-prone vegetation as bushfire-prone, whether or not this map shows it. Small base: one subdivision or remapping moves this figure. See theLIST. Bushfire-prone areas by council, on our map.

Check an address in Flinders, free

Free: which registers cover the address. The report ($9.90 including GST): whether the lot is on them, and how much of it.

How these are counted

Counted from every address in our Tasmanian build (each LIST address whose land could be identified), in build 63 of 23 October 2026, out of the addresses on land each register covers; a share is given only where the register covers nine in ten of the council’s addresses. Addresses, not homes: an apartment building is many addresses on one lot, and a vacant block is one. “Part of the lot” counts land, not buildings: the mapped area may not reach the house. A lot the map touches only at the edge, within the map’s accuracy, is shown as “Check” in a report and is counted in the base but not as on the map, so a share can be low by up to the edge count in its row. These are counts of what the government maps show, by our method; they are not a risk rating, and a council’s own count of “properties” may not match them. See why unmapped is not clear.

Which of our 27 Tasmanian planning registers map Flinders

20 of 27 cover Flinders. Solid: the register maps this council, so land here that is not in it is outside the mapped area. That is a finding about the land, and it is worth something. Hatched: the register publishes nothing for this council, so a search returns unmapped. The register does not settle the question for this land. It is not a finding that the land is unaffected, and it must never be read as one. Reversing these is the failure the whole product is built to prevent.Counted and grouped by WattleAddr from the registers.

The 18 distinct zones the register maps here, and how many separate areas each is mapped over. The map reference is the scheme’s own. A Tasmanian zone has no short alphabetic code, so the reference and the name are both carried rather than one being flattened into the other. Zone names are as the register publishes them, capitals and all. This counts mapped areas in the register, not properties: a zone over one large polygon may cover more land than a zone over fifty.

Registers that leave Flinders unresolved

We hold 7 further Tasmanian planning registers, and a search of them in Flinders settles nothing. That is not a finding about the land.

7 of them name the councils they map, and none names Flinders: this council never published that control, so there is nothing here to search.

Where a report can be bought

A report is on sale for most addresses in the Australian Capital Territory, every address in New South Wales, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Moreton Bay, Noosa and Toowoomba in Queensland, most addresses in Tasmania and almost every address in Victoria. In Western Australia a shorter report is free, read at the address point only (addresses whose location is on the property). The check is free: it tells you which registers cover an address and what the report costs for it, before you pay anything. Reports from $9.90 including GST, paid once, and the price belongs to the jurisdiction the address is in.
