Apply for a zoning extract
What is a zoning extract?
zoning extract requests temporarily unavailable via dams portal
We are currently experiencing a technical issue on the DAMS eServices Portal, which is preventing the submission of LUM Zoning Extract requests. While this issue is being addressed, applicants are kindly requested to contact their nearest Hub office for assistance with creating Zoning Extract cases. We apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding during this time.
A zoning extract or zoning certificate contains information relating to your property, such as:
- building lines,
- coverage and floor area ratio (FAR),
- height,
- the existing zoning, and
- what your property can legally be used for.
Top tip
The information on a zoning extract form can be confusing, consult a Town Planner if you are uncertain.
You can also find out the zoning of your property using the
City’s Zoning Viewer, however, zoning can only be officially verified by means of a zoning extract issued by the relevant
District Office.
When do I need a zoning extract?
If you plan on developing or altering a property, you must ensure that the property is zoned correctly for what you intend to use it for. Any development or use of the property that does not comply with the existing zoning is considered illegal land use.
All properties within the geographic area of the City are part of our integrated zoning scheme and are subject to land use provisions in the
Development Management Scheme, which forms part of the
Municipal Planning By-law.
contravention notices
You will be issued with a contravention notice if the City finds that you are using a property illegally. If you ignore the notice, you may be prosecuted and criminally charged.
