Numeralla zoning & planning overlays

A planning-constraint profile of Numeralla (Snowy Monaro Regional, NSW) - 174.64 km², mapped from live council and state overlay data. This suburb is moderately constrained on the overlays we could measure - no flood mapping covers this suburb, so this is not a suburb-wide verdict.

Elevation hillshade with street names, clipped to Numeralla's boundary, with the bushfire and environmental overlays drawn on top. No flood layer is drawn because we hold no flood mapping for this area.

Aircraft noise and flight paths over Numeralla

Two different things, kept apart on purpose. The ANEF contour is the planning instrument - a forecast published per airport that planning schemes use to control noise-sensitive development. Observed overflight is what a sampled aircraft-tracking feed actually recorded over the suburb - where aircraft flew, how low and how often.
