Moore zoning & planning overlays

Moore's 5,074 m² lots are 65.4% bushfire-mapped, with a median age of 53.

A planning-constraint profile of Moore (Somerset Regional, QLD) - 177.07 km², mapped from live council and state overlay data. This suburb is highly constrained on the overlays we could measure - no flood mapping covers this suburb, so this is not a suburb-wide verdict.
Profile updated 7 November 2026.

Elevation hillshade with street names, clipped to Moore's boundary, with the bushfire and environmental overlays drawn on top. Magenta is where aircraft were observed in the sampled period, brightest below 3,000 ft. No flood layer is drawn because we hold no flood mapping for this area.

Aircraft noise and flight paths over Moore

The ANEF contour is a published planning forecast and observed overflight is what a sampled tracking feed recorded - neither describes any individual property.

Night movements: observed, lowest 3,500 ft - night is sampled as often as day, but night traffic is light, so this is a floor and no rate can be put on it.

How this is measured

Traffic is sampled rather than watched continuously, so every figure is a floor: aircraft not captured between samples are not represented. Rates are per 500 m square - the busiest square in the suburb, not a count of flights over the suburb - and a square is only rated where enough traffic was seen to measure it. Altitudes are above mean sea level. Flight paths change with runway use, weather, season and airspace design. This is a record of observed traffic; it is not a noise contour and not a planning control.

Across its 177.07 km², Moore is highly constrained by the planning overlays we hold. We hold no flood mapping covering this suburb, so no flood figure is shown - that is a gap in our data, not an all-clear. Of what is mapped, 65% is flagged bushfire-prone. There is 1 heritage-listed site on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Rural. The median lot measures about 5,074 m² across 407 parcels.

Published flood models are held over parts of Moore; the free check on the Flood Model Report page says whether one reaches a given address.
