Campsie zoning & planning overlays

A planning-constraint profile of Campsie (Canterbury-Bankstown, NSW) - 3.35 km², mapped from live council and state overlay data. This suburb is relatively unconstrained on the overlays we hold - no flood mapping covers this suburb, so this is not a suburb-wide verdict.

Elevation hillshade with street names, clipped to Campsie's boundary, with the bushfire and environmental overlays drawn on top. It shows where constraints fall; the interactive map shows them on your exact address. No flood layer is drawn because we hold no flood mapping for this area.

Across its 3.35 km², Campsie is relatively unconstrained 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. There are 32 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is High Density Residential. The median lot measures about 506 m² across 3,796 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.

Campsie planning - frequently asked

Is Campsie flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Campsie, so this page can't say how much of the suburb is flood-affected - that is a gap in our data, not an indication that the suburb is free of flood risk. Canterbury-Bankstown 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.

Is Campsie bushfire-prone?

Bushfire mapping covers Campsie and little to none of it is mapped as bushfire-prone (the Canterbury-Bankstown average is 10%). Always confirm for the exact lot, as mapping can change.

What is the zoning in Campsie?

The dominant planning zone in Campsie is High Density Residential, though the suburb also includes Medium Density Residential and Infrastructure. Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.

Does Campsie have heritage-listed places?

Campsie has 32 heritage-listed places on record. Heritage listing affects what you can alter or demolish, so confirm whether a specific property is listed or near a heritage place.

What is the typical lot size in Campsie?

Across 3,796 surveyed parcels in Campsie, the median lot size is about 506 m². There are also 13 registered easements mapped in the suburb - an easement can restrict where you can build, so always check the title and overlays for the specific lot.

The wider Campsie - North statistical area, which contains Campsie, went from 10,252 people in 2001 to 12,771 in 2025, up 25%.

On the ABS SEIFA 2021 index of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (IRSAD), Campsie scores 954 and sits in decile 4 of 10 nationally and decile 3 within New South Wales - decile 1 being the most disadvantaged tenth of Australian suburbs and decile 10 the least. The national average score is 1000. SEIFA summarises income, education, occupation and housing across the whole suburb, so it describes the area, not any particular household in it.
