How Raby is zoned
Buying in Raby? The zoning, flood and bushfire lines on the section 10.7 certificate attached to the contract are mapped controls - see our s10.7 certificate guide.
Across its 2.61 km², Raby is moderately constrained by planning overlays. Flood mapping covers the suburb and none of it falls within a mapped flood overlay, and 13% is flagged bushfire-prone. The dominant land-use zone is Low Density Residential. The median lot measures about 604 m² across 1,972 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.
