Across its 34.82 km², Sugarloaf is highly constrained by the planning overlays we hold.

The dominant land-use zone is Primary Production. The median lot measures about 112,370 m² across 127 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.

Yes - around 100% of Sugarloaf is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Dungog average of 98%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
