Spring Hill flood map & planning overlays

The schematic on this page is a Spring Hill flood map: the mapped flood overlays drawn over the suburb's terrain and street grid, covering about 4% of the suburb. Flood lines vary block to block, so for a specific property use the free interactive map - search any Spring Hill address and it shows the flood, zoning and bushfire mapping on the exact lot boundary.

About 4% of Spring Hill falls within a mapped flood overlay, against the council-wide suburb average of 2%. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Around 100% of Spring Hill is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Macedon Ranges average of 100%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

The dominant planning zone in Spring Hill is Farming Zone (FZ), though the suburb also includes Farming Zone (FZ2) and Public Conservation and Resource Zone (PCRZ). Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.

Spring Hill has 3 heritage-listed places on record. Heritage listing affects what you can alter or demolish, so confirm whether a specific property is listed or near a heritage place.

Across 238 surveyed parcels in Spring Hill, the median lot size is about 108,248 m². There are also 119 registered easements mapped in the suburb - an easement can restrict where you can build, so always check the title and overlays for the specific lot.

The national average score is 1000. SEIFA summarises income, education, occupation and housing across the whole suburb, so it describes the area, not any particular household in it.
