Check your property zoning

THE Derwent Valley Interim Planning Scheme is now available online, replacing the New Norfolk Planning Scheme 1993.

Among the tools available on the iPlan website is a function to quickly find the current zoning of your property. Give it a go here. You might be surprised by what you find. It tells me my own home is in a landslide hazard area!
