Historical flooding (including 2011 Brisbane River event) has directly affected low-lying residential properties. The entire suburb falls within declared flood overlays requiring strict planning controls.
Planning Controls
- •Mandatory planning scheme flood overlay compliance for Brisbane River PMF extent
- •Minimum finished floor level requirements relative to design flood event (typically 1% AEP + freeboard)
- •Building design standards under Queensland Development Code (QDC) for flood-prone areas
- •Stormwater management and detention basin requirements for new development
Bushfire Risk
