Centennial Park zoning & planning overlays

A planning-constraint profile of Centennial Park (Randwick, NSW) - 2.2 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 Centennial Park'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 2.2 km², Centennial Park 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 76 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Public Recreation. The median lot measures about 737 m² across 269 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.

Centennial Park planning - frequently asked
