A planning-constraint profile of The Range
(Rockhampton Regional, QLD) - 3.59 km², mapped from live council and
state overlay data. This suburb is highly constrained.
Profile updated 7 November 2026.
Constraint readout
3.59 km² - this suburb is highly constrained by planning overlays.
Elevation hillshade with street names, clipped to The Range's boundary, with the flood, bushfire and environmental overlays drawn on top. Amber hatching is the published aircraft noise (ANEF) contour. Magenta is where aircraft were observed in the sampled period, brightest below 3,000 ft.

How common is mapped flood risk across The Range properties?
Counts of properties, not share of land, across 2,363 analysed The Range properties; no individual property result is identified.
Lot-level readout
Flood-risk rating across all 2,363 properties
From LayeredGeo's lot-risk engine: council flood overlays, historical flooding and terrain, resolved to each individual lot in The Range.
Has The Range flooded? Flood history and overland flow
Yes. Recorded flood mapping reaches into The Range: 20 of the 2,363 properties we analysed (0.8%) sit at least partly inside a mapped historical flood extent (Historic Flood 2011: 20, Historic Flood 2017: 11). The free address check says whether a given lot is inside one.
Suburb-wide totals across 2,363 analysed properties; they do not identify or describe any individual property.
Recorded historical flood mapping
20 analysed properties intersect at least one mapped historical event extent.

Aircraft noise and flight paths over The Range
The ANEF contour is a published planning forecast and observed overflight is what a sampled tracking feed recorded - neither describes any individual property.
Inside an aircraft noise contour
2% of the suburb's land sits inside a published ANEF or airport-environs contour. Contours vary street by street, so whether a particular lot is inside one needs a property-level check.
Highest contour present
Under AS 2021, land between ANEF 20 and 25 is conditionally acceptable for houses, usually with noise attenuation built in. The contour is a forecast, not a measurement at any one house.
Contours held
- Rockhampton Regional Council ANEF
Observed overflight - sampled 4 Sep to 7 Nov 2026
Night movements: not established - night is sampled as often as day, but too few night flights have been seen here to conclude either way.
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.

How The Range is zoned
Selling in The Range? 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 3.59 km², The Range is highly constrained by planning overlays. About 29% of the suburb sits within a mapped flood overlay, and 12% is flagged bushfire-prone. There are 26 heritage-listed sites on record, and the dominant land-use zone is Low density residential. The terrain is gently undulating, and the median lot measures about 695 m² across 2,324 parcels.

The Range planning - frequently asked
Is The Range flood-prone?
About 29% of The Range falls within a mapped flood overlay, against the council-wide suburb average of 53%. Across the suburb, 25% of the 2,363 properties we analysed carry some level of mapped flood risk, including 583 rated high risk or historically affected. Published flood models are held over parts of The Range; the free check on the Flood Model Report page says whether one reaches a given address.
Has The Range flooded?
Yes. Recorded flood mapping reaches into The Range: 20 of the 2,363 properties we analysed (0.8%) sit at least partly inside a mapped historical flood extent (Historic Flood 2011: 20, Historic Flood 2017: 11). The free address check says whether a given lot is inside one.
Is The Range bushfire-prone?
Around 12% of The Range is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Rockhampton Regional average of 49%.
Is The Range affected by aircraft noise?
About 2% of The Range sits inside a published aircraft noise contour, and the highest contour present is ANEF 20 - under AS 2021, land between ANEF 20 and 25 is conditionally acceptable for houses, usually with noise attenuation in the build. ANEF contours are forecasts published per airport and used to control noise-sensitive development; they are not a measurement at any one house, and a property can sit under a flight path and outside every contour.
Is The Range under a flight path?
Aircraft were observed over about 41% of The Range in the period sampled, but only above 3,000 ft - the lowest measured was 500 ft. Traffic is sampled rather than watched continuously and flight paths change with runway use, weather and season; the ANEF contour is the planning instrument.
What is the zoning in The Range?
The dominant planning zone in The Range is Low density residential, though the suburb also includes Sport and recreation and Community facilities.
Does The Range have heritage-listed places?
The Range has 26 heritage-listed places on record.
Is The Range hilly or flat?
The Range is gently undulating: the median ground slope is about 9%, and 8% of measured points sit on grades of 15% or steeper. Ground level runs from roughly 12 m to 51 m AHD across the suburb.
What is the typical lot size in The Range?
Across 2,324 surveyed parcels in The Range, the median lot size is about 695 m². There are also 119 registered easements mapped in the suburb.
