Henley zoning & planning overlays

A planning-constraint profile of Henley (Hunters Hill, NSW) - 0.27 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 Henley'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 0.27 km², Henley 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 24 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Low Density Residential. The median lot measures about 751 m² across 163 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 Gladesville - Huntleys Point, the wider ABS statistical area containing Henley. There is no annual population series published at suburb level, so this describes the surrounding area rather than Henley itself.

Henley planning - frequently asked

Is Henley flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Henley, 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. Hunters Hill 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 Henley bushfire-prone?

Bushfire mapping covers Henley and little to none of it is mapped as bushfire-prone (the Hunters Hill average is 12%). Always confirm for the exact lot, as mapping can change.

What is the zoning in Henley?

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

Does Henley have heritage-listed places?

Henley has 24 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 Henley?

Across 163 surveyed parcels in Henley, the median lot size is about 751 m².

Does Henley have a train station?

There is no train station inside Henley itself. The suburb is served by 6 bus stops and 1 ferry terminal.

What is the population of Henley?

At the 2021 Census Henley had 455 usual residents, with a median age of 46 and an average household size of 2.9 people. The wider Gladesville - Huntleys Point statistical area, which contains Henley, went from 13,148 people in 2001 to 16,256 in 2025, up 24%. ABS publishes no annual population series for individual suburbs, so that trend describes the surrounding area rather than Henley alone.

Is Henley an advantaged suburb?

On the ABS SEIFA 2021 index of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (IRSAD), Henley scores 1182 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 Henley?

Median household income in Henley was $3,353 a week at the 2021 Census, against $3,353 for the typical suburb in Hunters Hill. Median rent was $660 a week and the median mortgage repayment $4,800 a month. These are 2021 Census figures and have not been indexed to today.

Do I need a planning report for a Henley property?

A Henley 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.
