Concord zoning & planning overlays

A planning-constraint profile of Concord (Canada Bay, NSW) - 5.03 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 Concord'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 5.03 km², Concord 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 210 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Low Density Residential. The median lot measures about 540 m² across 4,579 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.

Estimated resident population of Concord - Mortlake - Cabarita, the wider ABS statistical area containing Concord. There is no annual population series published at suburb level, so this describes the surrounding area rather than Concord itself.

Concord planning - frequently asked

Is Concord flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Concord, 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. Canada Bay 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 Concord bushfire-prone?

Bushfire mapping covers Concord and little to none of it is mapped as bushfire-prone. Always confirm for the exact lot, as mapping can change.

What is the zoning in Concord?

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

Does Concord have heritage-listed places?

Concord has 210 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 Concord?

Across 4,579 surveyed parcels in Concord, the median lot size is about 540 m². There are also 11 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.

Does Concord have a train station?

There is no train station inside Concord itself. The suburb is served by 152 bus stops.

What is the population of Concord?

At the 2021 Census Concord had 14,551 usual residents, with a median age of 43 and an average household size of 2.8 people. The wider Concord - Mortlake - Cabarita statistical area, which contains Concord, went from 15,472 people in 2001 to 24,026 in 2025, up 55%. ABS publishes no annual population series for individual suburbs, so that trend describes the surrounding area rather than Concord alone.

Is Concord an advantaged suburb?

On the ABS SEIFA 2021 index of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (IRSAD), Concord scores 1098 and sits in decile 10 of 10 nationally and decile 10 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.

What is the median household income in Concord?

Median household income in Concord was $2,410 a week at the 2021 Census, against $2,382 for the typical suburb in Canada Bay. Median rent was $570 a week and the median mortgage repayment $3,033 a month. These are 2021 Census figures and have not been indexed to today.

Do I need a planning report for a Concord property?

A Concord planning report pulls every overlay - zoning, flood, bushfire, heritage and environmental - that touches a single lot, on live council and state data. The interactive map preview is free; a full PDF report is $9.
