Deauville zoning & planning overlays

A planning-constraint profile of Deauville (Port Macquarie-Hastings, NSW) - 2.52 km², mapped from live council and state overlay data. This suburb is highly constrained 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 Deauville'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 2.52 km², Deauville 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, 64% is flagged bushfire-prone. The dominant land-use zone is National Parks and Nature Reserves. The median lot measures about 1,698 m² across 64 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.

Deauville planning - frequently asked

Is Deauville flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Deauville, 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. Port Macquarie-Hastings 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 Deauville bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 64% of Deauville is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Port Macquarie-Hastings average of 93%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

What is the zoning in Deauville?

The dominant planning zone in Deauville is National Parks and Nature Reserves, though the suburb also includes Environmental Management and Primary Production. Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.

Does Deauville have heritage-listed places?

No heritage-listed places are on record within Deauville. Even so, it is worth confirming for an individual property before any works.

What is the typical lot size in Deauville?

Across 64 surveyed parcels in Deauville, the median lot size is about 1,698 m².

Is Deauville an advantaged suburb?

On the ABS SEIFA 2021 index of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (IRSAD), Deauville scores 881 and sits in decile 1 of 10 nationally and decile 1 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.

Do I need a planning report for a Deauville property?

A Deauville 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.
