The 31 planning zones mapped in Horsham, Victoria, which registers cover the council and which map nothing here. No report is sold for Victoria.
You cannot buy a report for an address in Horsham. A report is on sale for every New South Wales address and Brisbane, Gold Coast and Moreton Bay in Queensland. Victoria is not among them, and nothing on this page is a step towards buying one. What follows is what we hold, published so it can be read for nothing.
This page is about the Victorian planning registers and nothing else. It does not describe the hazard layers we hold for Victoria, which are mapped as one extent per hazard for the whole State rather than council by council, and it carries no recorded crime: we hold none for Victoria, and a heading with nothing under it reads as though there is none to hold.
The 31 distinct zones the register maps here, and how many separate areas each is mapped over. A Victorian zone’s schedule is where its control lives, so General Residential Zone Schedule 1 and Schedule 3 are listed apart: they are the same zone and not the same rule. 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.

Every gazetted overlay family the scheme applies here, with the number of separate schedules under it. The schedule is the control: two councils with a Heritage Overlay do not have the same heritage rules, they have their own numbered schedules to it.
| Code | Overlay | Schedules | Mapped areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| LSIO | LAND SUBJECT TO INUNDATION OVERLAY | 1 | 10,507 |
| FO | FLOODWAY OVERLAY | 1 | 1,180 |
| BMO | BUSHFIRE MANAGEMENT OVERLAY | 1 | 74 |
| ESO | ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE OVERLAY | 7 | 55 |
| HO | HERITAGE OVERLAY | 29 | 29 |
| DPO | DEVELOPMENT PLAN OVERLAY | 9 | 26 |
| DDO | DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY | 8 | 9 |

5 of the 8 Victorian planning registers we hold map Horsham. Land in this council that is not in one of them has been assessed against it.
| Register | In Horsham | Last updated |
|---|---|---|
| Vicmap Planning - Planning Scheme Overlay Polygon Every gazetted overlay in the scheme: heritage, design and development, bushfire, inundation, vegetation, public acquisition and the rest. |
11,910 mapped areas | 28 May 2026 |
| Vicmap Planning - Planning Scheme Zone Polygon The land use zone for every parcel in the planning scheme. Every feature is gazetted, so this layer carries no proposed or interim zone. |
427 mapped areas | 30 June 2026 |
| Areas of Cultural Heritage Sensitivity The Aboriginal Heritage Regulations 2018 definition drawn as polygons. It is the regulation, not a site register: land outside it is a finding about the regulation and is not a statement that no Aboriginal place exists there. |
declared over the whole State | not stated |
| Victorian Heritage Register The statutory register under the Heritage Act 2017. It is closed: a place is on it or it is not. |
declared over the whole State | 31 July 2026 |
| Special Water Supply Catchment Areas Catchments declared under the Catchment and Land Protection Act 1994. The 142 declarations are the entire declared set for the State. |

We hold 3 further Victorian planning registers, and a search of them in Horsham settles nothing. That is not a finding about the land.
3 are held for the whole State but are not a survey of it — the publisher says so — so land absent from them has not been assessed rather than cleared.
| Register | In Horsham | Last updated |
|---|---|---|
| Coastal Acid Sulphate Soils Coastal prospectivity for acid sulfate soils, which is not a classification, and it stops at the coast. Inland, an absence is out of scope rather than unaffected. |
held, but not a survey of the State | — |
| EPA Victoria Environmental Audit Reports - Location Polygons Where an environmental audit has been carried out. An audit is frequently what clears land, so a record here is not a finding of contamination and an absence is not a finding of cleanliness. |
held, but not a survey of the State | — |
| Heritage Inventory Recorded archaeological sites. The publisher states it is not a complete record of them, so land absent from it has not been assessed rather than cleared. |

For the 5 registers above that cover Horsham, land that is not in the register was assessed and is outside the mapped area. That is a finding about the land, and it is worth something.
For the 3 registers that leave Horsham unresolved, 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.
Those two sentences are different answers and this is the point of the whole product. Reversing them — reporting a register that covers nothing as a clean result — is the failure these pages are built to make impossible.
