How Gordon is zoned
Buying in Gordon? The Territory Plan zone on this page sits alongside the Crown lease, which sets what a block may actually be used for - a $9 planning report pulls the zone and every overlay at the block level for any Gordon address.
Across its 4.47 km², Gordon is highly constrained by the planning overlays we hold. We hold no flood mapping covering this suburb, so no flood figure is shown - that is a gap in our data, not an all-clear. Of what is mapped, 33% is flagged bushfire-prone. There are 20 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Suburban. The median lot measures about 785 m² across 2,245 parcels. These figures are suburb-wide - the overlays that actually apply to a given lot can differ block to block, which is what a property-level check tells you.

Is Gordon flood-prone?

The ACT planning authority is the authority to check for flood mapping in this area. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Yes - around 33% of Gordon is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Tuggeranong average of 35%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
