The dominant land-use zone is Primary Production. The median lot measures about 11,552 m² across 183 parcels.

Merricumbene planning - frequently asked

Is Merricumbene flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Merricumbene, 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. Eurobodalla 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 Merricumbene bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 100% of Merricumbene is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Eurobodalla average of 90%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

What is the zoning in Merricumbene?

The dominant planning zone in Merricumbene is Primary Production, though the suburb also includes National Parks and Nature Reserves and Natural Waterways. Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.
