Predictive flood inundation maps
Important note
The maps provided do not infer that a property is subject to total inundation from a defined flood event and are not fit for insurance eligibility determination purposes. These maps are also not suitable for the purpose of self-assessment as to whether a home on the property is immune to flooding and do not account for pre-existing localised drainage problems.
Flood modelling identifies areas that are likely to be affected by flood inundation in an extreme event defined as a one-in-100-year flood (or 1% AEP flood event).
These studies are a refinement of the Flood Inundation Overlay Flood Maps used in the Local Planning Scheme. These detailed studies identified localised flooding issues (including low-lying areas and overland flow paths) and assist with strategic planning exercises to develop local flood mitigation measures to reduce the impacts of flooding within the catchment.
You can request an individual property assessment by contacting Council - fees and charges apply.
Flood Zone and Storm Tide Information Request
A Flood Zone and Storm Tide Information search typically provides the following information:
- Range of ground levels
- 1% AEP flood and storm tide levels sourced from either Council or State Government resources
- Information to assist with determining habitable floor levels.
To request a flood search download the Land Record Search Request Form ( PDF, 0.15 MB ) and submit it to Council or complete a request form online.
