Flood Risk
Upper Coomera is situated within the Coomera River catchment on the Gold Coast hinterland. The area experiences medium flood risk due to proximity to the Coomera River and its tributaries, with historical flood studies defining inundation extents. Properties in lower-lying areas near watercourses and floodplains are subject to QLD State Planning Policy flood overlays and may be constrained for development or require elevated construction.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Coomera River flood study (1% AEP and PMF mapping)
- •Minimum floor level requirements relative to design flood event
- •Development in flood-prone areas may require flood impact assessment and mitigation measures
- •Notification of flood risk on property titles under QLD planning legislation
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-19
Upper Coomera is a fringe-rural suburb in the Gold Coast hinterland with topography and native vegetation that places it within a bushfire-prone area under QLD SPP mapping. Properties typically fall within BAL-19, requiring construction compliance with AS 3959. Moderate risk is driven by proximity to bushland, elevation, and vegetation density, though urban development in recent years has reduced overall exposure compared to more remote hinterland areas.
