Across its 217.46 km², Chichester is highly constrained by the planning overlays we hold.

There are 3 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is National Parks and Nature Reserves. The median lot measures about 166,233 m² across 242 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.

Yes - around 100% of Chichester is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Dungog average of 98%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
