The dominant land-use zone is Rural. The terrain is hilly, and the median lot measures about 350,559 m² across 16 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.

Where can I see a flood map of Limestone?
The schematic on this page is a Limestone flood map: the mapped flood overlays drawn over the suburb's terrain and street grid. Flood lines vary block to block, so for a specific property use the free interactive map - search any Limestone address and it shows the flood, zoning and bushfire mapping on the exact lot boundary.
Is Limestone flood-prone?
Very little of Limestone carries a mapped flood overlay (the Rockhampton Regional average is 49%). Looking lot by lot, 0% of the 11 properties we analysed in Limestone carry some level of mapped flood risk. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.
Is Limestone bushfire-prone?
Yes - around 97% of Limestone is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Rockhampton Regional average of 36%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
What is the zoning in Limestone?
The dominant planning zone in Limestone is Rural, though the suburb also includes Rural residential. Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.
Does Limestone have heritage-listed places?

Is Limestone hilly or flat?
Limestone is hilly: the median lot slope is about 13%, and 36% of properties sit on slopes of 15% or steeper. Ground level runs from roughly 276 m to 340 m AHD across the suburb. Slope drives site costs - cut and fill, retaining walls and driveway grades - so it is worth knowing before you commit to a sloping block.
