Tamboritha zoning & planning overlays

Tamboritha keeps 63 ha conservation lots, all inside bushfire mapping.

A planning-constraint profile of Tamboritha (Wellington, VIC) - 67.19 km², mapped from live council and state overlay data. This suburb is highly constrained on the overlays we could measure - no flood mapping covers this suburb, so this is not a suburb-wide verdict.
Profile updated 24 October 2026.

Elevation hillshade with street names, clipped to Tamboritha's boundary, with the bushfire and environmental overlays drawn on top. Magenta is where aircraft were observed in the sampled period, brightest below 3,000 ft. No flood layer is drawn because we hold no flood mapping for this area.

Aircraft noise and flight paths over Tamboritha

The ANEF contour is a published planning forecast and observed overflight is what a sampled tracking feed recorded - neither describes any individual property.

aircraft were seen, but not often enough to put a rate on

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.

Selling in Tamboritha? The zoning and planning overlays on this page are the controls a Section 32 vendor statement discloses.

Across its 67.19 km², Tamboritha is highly constrained by the planning overlays we hold. We hold no flood mapping covering this suburb, so no flood figure is shown - that is a gap in our data, not an all-clear. Of what is mapped, 100% is flagged bushfire-prone. The dominant land-use zone is Public Conservation and Resource Zone (PCRZ). The median lot measures about 629,412 m² across 7 parcels.

Tamboritha planning - frequently asked

Is Tamboritha flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Tamboritha, so this page can't say how much of the suburb is flood-affected - that is a gap in our data, not an indication that the suburb is free of flood risk. Wellington is the authority to check for flood mapping in this area.

Is Tamboritha bushfire-prone?

Around 100% of Tamboritha is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Wellington average of 96%.

Is Tamboritha under a flight path?

Aircraft were observed over about 2% of Tamboritha in the period sampled, but only above 3,000 ft - the lowest measured was 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 Tamboritha?

The dominant planning zone in Tamboritha is Public Conservation and Resource Zone (PCRZ), though the suburb also includes Farming Zone (FZ).

Does Tamboritha have heritage-listed places?

No heritage-listed places are on record within Tamboritha.

What is the typical lot size in Tamboritha?

Across 7 surveyed parcels in Tamboritha, the median lot size is about 629,412 m².
