Constraint readout
293.2 km² - this suburb is highly constrained by planning overlays.
Elevation hillshade with street names, clipped to Cassini's boundary, with the flood, bushfire and environmental overlays drawn on top. Magenta is where aircraft were observed in the sampled period, brightest below 3,000 ft.

Aircraft noise and flight paths over Cassini
Two different things, kept apart on purpose. The ANEF contour is the planning instrument - a forecast published per airport that planning schemes use to control noise-sensitive development. Observed overflight is what a sampled aircraft-tracking feed actually recorded over the suburb - where aircraft flew, how low and how often.
Observed overflight - sampled 4 Sep to 3 Oct 2026
Night movements: observed, lowest 3,000 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.
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 Cassini is zoned
Selling in Cassini? The zone and overlays on this page are the Planning and Design Code controls a Form 1 vendor's statement has to disclose.
Across its 293.2 km², Cassini is highly constrained by planning overlays. Flood mapping covers the suburb and none of it falls within a mapped flood overlay, and 100% 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 1,313,050 m² across 241 parcels.
Who lives in Cassini

Population trend, 2001 to 2025
Estimated resident population of Kangaroo Island, the wider ABS statistical area containing Cassini. There is no annual population series published at suburb level, so this describes the surrounding area rather than Cassini itself.

Is Cassini flood-prone?
Flood mapping covers Cassini and none of the suburb falls within a mapped flood overlay (the council-wide suburb average is 7%).
Is Cassini bushfire-prone?
Around 100% of Cassini is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Kangaroo Island Council average of 96%.
Is Cassini under a flight path?
Aircraft were observed below 3,000 ft over about 2% of Cassini, and over about 6% at any altitude up to 10,000 ft, in the period sampled (4 Sep 2026 to 3 Oct 2026). The lowest measured aircraft was at 500 ft, with an average of 4,000 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 Cassini?
The dominant planning zone in Cassini is Rural, though the suburb also includes Conservation and Coastal Waters and Offshore Islands.
