While the suburb lies within the broader Murrumbidgee River catchment, most residential areas are positioned on elevated terrain away from the main floodplain. Properties in lower-lying areas near tributary drainage lines or creek corridors may warrant flood overlay checks under ACT planning controls.
Planning Controls
- •ACT Flood Risk Management Overlay assessment for properties within 1% AEP (100-year) floodplain extent
- •Compliance with ACT Planning and Development Act 2007 flood-related development conditions
- •Consideration of Murrumbidgee River flood study outputs and historical flood extent mapping
- •Potential floor-level and fill requirements for development in designated flood-prone areas
