Eastgardens zoning & planning overlays

A planning-constraint profile of Eastgardens (Bayside, NSW) - 0.54 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 Eastgardens'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 0.54 km², Eastgardens 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. The dominant land-use zone is Low Density Residential. The median lot measures about 464 m² across 406 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.

Eastgardens planning - frequently asked

Is Eastgardens flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Eastgardens, 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. Bayside 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 Eastgardens bushfire-prone?

Bushfire mapping covers Eastgardens and little to none of it is mapped as bushfire-prone (the Bayside average is 2%). Always confirm for the exact lot, as mapping can change.

What is the zoning in Eastgardens?

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

Does Eastgardens have heritage-listed places?

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

What is the typical lot size in Eastgardens?

Across 406 surveyed parcels in Eastgardens, the median lot size is about 464 m². There are also 2 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.

ABS publishes no annual population series for individual suburbs, so that trend describes the surrounding area rather than Eastgardens alone.

Is Eastgardens an advantaged suburb?

On the ABS SEIFA 2021 index of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (IRSAD), Eastgardens scores 1111 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.

Median household income in Eastgardens was $2,232 a week at the 2021 Census, against $1,962 for the typical suburb in Bayside. Median rent was $650 a week and the median mortgage repayment $2,760 a month. These are 2021 Census figures and have not been indexed to today.
