Flood Risk
Bowen Hills is located adjacent to the Brisbane River and falls within the Brisbane River 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood overlay. The suburb experienced significant inundation during the January 2011 Queensland floods and other historical events. Brisbane City Council applies strict planning controls requiring elevated floor levels and flood-resistant design for new development and major renovations in this high-risk area.
Planning Controls
- •Minimum floor level requirements relative to the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) or 1% AEP flood level
- •Restricted development in flood-prone areas; requirements for flood-resistant construction materials and design
- •Mandatory flood impact assessment and site-specific flood studies for development applications
- •Exemptions and variations may apply for minor works, but substantial development typically requires detailed hydraulic modelling
