Across its 2.29 km², Jannali 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, 33% is flagged bushfire-prone. There are 4 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Low Density Residential. The median lot measures about 585 m² across 1,852 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.

Jannali planning - frequently asked

Is Jannali flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Jannali, 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. Sutherland Shire 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 Jannali bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 33% of Jannali is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Sutherland Shire average of 46%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
