How Moore is zoned
We don't yet hold the planning scheme zoning for Moore, so this page can't show its zone mix. That is a gap in our data, not an absence of zoning - every lot in Moore sits in a zone under the Somerset Regional planning scheme, and Somerset Regional is the authority to check it with. The other overlays on this page are unaffected.
Across its 177.07 km², Moore is highly constrained by planning overlays. Flood mapping covers the suburb and none of it falls within a mapped flood overlay, and 65% is flagged bushfire-prone. There is 1 heritage-listed site on record. The median lot measures about 5,074 m² across 407 parcels.
