Menai homes in the western Shire
Menai is a large suburb in the Shire's west, with extensive bushland and national park land within its boundary. Three in four occupied homes were separate houses in the 2021 Census, and about one in five was a semi-detached home or townhouse.
There is no railway line through Menai, so there is no station in the suburb.
Local planning
Local planning notes for Menai
Menai is in the Sutherland Shire Council area, but it has a planning quirk worth knowing about:
- Deferred land: Close to half of the suburb is shown as "Deferred Matter" on the Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan 2015 zoning map, meaning the 2015 plan does not apply to that land. If your lot is in a deferred area, confirm with Sutherland Shire Council which plan applies.
- Bush fire prone land: Around two thirds of the suburb is mapped in the highest bush fire vegetation category. Building work on mapped land is assessed against the RFS document Planning for Bush Fire Protection.
- Zones: Where the 2015 plan applies, zones include C4 Environmental Living, C1 National Parks and Nature Reserves, C2 Environmental Conservation, R2 Low Density Residential and an E2 Commercial Centre.
Your NSW Planning Portal search and a planning certificate from Sutherland Shire Council will confirm which plan and zone apply to your lot.
