Bushfire check, Queensland
Is my property bushfire prone?
Short answer
A property is bushfire prone for planning purposes when your council's planning scheme maps it in a bushfire hazard overlay — a potential intensity class or a buffer around one. Enter the address below and Landbrief checks that mapping for free and shows which classification applies.
Bushfire hazard is mapped in your council's planning scheme — intensity areas and buffer zones that change what and how you can build. Landbrief checks the bushfire layers alongside every other overlay for any Queensland address.

What you get
- Bushfire hazard overlay mapping for the lot, where the council publishes it
- The classification — e.g. high potential intensity vs buffer — where mapped
- Site maps showing the mapped extent against your boundary
- Every other overlay: flood, biodiversity, heritage and more
- Zone, precinct and lot details for the property
Built from Queensland Government spatial services and councils' own published planning scheme mapping — every report lists its sources. For advice on what the constraints mean for your plans, a town planner can take it from there.

How do I check if a property is in a bushfire zone in Queensland?
Bushfire hazard overlays are part of council planning schemes. A Landbrief report checks your council's bushfire mapping for the address and reports the classification, alongside the rest of the planning picture.
What does a bushfire overlay mean for building?
Development in mapped bushfire areas can carry extra requirements — siting, construction standards, vegetation management. The overlay and its classification tell you which conversation you'll be having with council.
What is a bushfire overlay?
A bushfire overlay is a layer in your council's planning scheme that maps land at risk from bushfire — usually by potential intensity (very high, high, medium) plus a buffer around those areas. Where it applies, building and subdivision can carry extra siting, construction and vegetation requirements.
