How The Keppels is zoned
Selling in The Keppels? The lot-level zone is the zoning Part 3 of Queensland's Form 2 seller disclosure statement asks for - see our Form 2 planning data guide.
Across its 1028.69 km², The Keppels is highly constrained by the planning overlays we hold. Flood mapping covers the suburb and none of it falls within a mapped flood overlay. We hold no bushfire-prone mapping for this area either, so no bushfire figure is shown. There is 1 heritage-listed site on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Environmental management and conservation. The median lot measures about 5,392 m² across 101 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.
