Glamorgan-Spring Bay: planning zones, bushfire codes

The 17 planning zones mapped in Glamorgan-Spring Bay, Tasmania, the hazard codes counted address by address, and which registers cover the council.

A report can be bought for most addresses in Glamorgan-Spring Bay 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 Glamorgan-Spring Bay first: the check is free and states the total before you pay.

What this page covers

This page covers Glamorgan-Spring Bay’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 Glamorgan-Spring Bay Local Provisions Schedule.

Bushfire, flood and other hazard codes in Glamorgan-Spring Bay

What the government maps show. Not a risk rating.

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.

addresses with a bushfire-prone area on part of the lot, not at the address point
In Glamorgan-Spring Bay, a check of the address point alone would report them as outside the map. Our report tests the whole lot.

  • Flood-prone areas The Glamorgan-Spring Bay 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.

Bushfire-prone areas

58.3%
Base of the share: 5,968 addresses on land the map covers
  • 3,449 on the map at the address point
  • 29 on part of the lot only
  • 252 at the edge only
  • 2,238 not on the map

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. See theLIST. Bushfire-prone areas by council, on our map.

How this is counted

3,478 of 5,968 addresses (58.3%) are on a lot shown, in whole or in part, as a bushfire-prone area under the Bushfire-Prone Areas Code, in the council’s Local Provisions Schedule. On 3,439 of 5,921 lots · 29 on part of the lot only · 252 touch only the edge. 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.

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 Glamorgan-Spring Bay

19 of 27 cover Glamorgan-Spring Bay. 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 17 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.

8 of them name the councils they map, and none names Glamorgan-Spring Bay: this council never published that control, so there is nothing here to search.

Tasmanian council areas next to Glamorgan-Spring Bay

The other Tasmanian council areas that share a stretch of land boundary with Glamorgan-Spring Bay, in alphabetical order; councils across the State border or across open water are not listed. Sharing a boundary says nothing about hazards, zoning or crime on either side of it: each page has its own figures. Every council area in Tasmania is on one page.

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.
