Maryville zoning & planning overlays

A planning-constraint profile of Maryville (Newcastle, NSW) - 0.62 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 Maryville'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 0.62 km², Maryville 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 5 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Low Density Residential. The median lot measures about 300 m² across 731 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.

Maryville planning - frequently asked

Is Maryville flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Maryville, 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. Newcastle 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 Maryville bushfire-prone?

Bushfire mapping covers Maryville and little to none of it is mapped as bushfire-prone (the Newcastle average is 24%). Always confirm for the exact lot, as mapping can change.

What is the zoning in Maryville?

The dominant planning zone in Maryville is Low Density Residential, though the suburb also includes General Industrial and Recreational Waterways. Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.

Does Maryville have heritage-listed places?

Maryville has 5 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 Maryville?

Across 731 surveyed parcels in Maryville, the median lot size is about 300 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.

What is the population of Maryville?

The wider Wickham - Carrington - Tighes Hill statistical area, which contains Maryville, went from 6,361 people in 2001 to 10,395 in 2025, up 63%. ABS publishes no annual population series for individual suburbs, so that trend describes the surrounding area rather than Maryville alone.

Is Maryville an advantaged suburb?

On the ABS SEIFA 2021 index of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (IRSAD), Maryville scores 1066 and sits in decile 9 of 10 nationally and decile 9 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 Maryville?

Median household income in Maryville was $2,067 a week at the 2021 Census, against $1,818 for the typical suburb in Newcastle. Median rent was $505 a week and the median mortgage repayment $2,000 a month. These are 2021 Census figures and have not been indexed to today.
