There are 5 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Rural Landscape. The median lot measures about 24,978 m² across 180 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.
