Flood Risk
Maaroom is located within the Mary River catchment in the Gympie Region and is moderately exposed to riverine flooding. The Mary River has a documented history of major flood events, and properties in low-lying areas near the river and tributaries are subject to Queensland's flood study overlays and planning scheme requirements. Most of Maaroom sits at moderate elevation, but riverside and adjacent floodplain properties warrant detailed flood risk assessment.
Planning Controls
- •Assessment against Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) flood hazard mapping for Mary River 1% AEP and PMF events
- •Mandatory flood resilience planning and consideration of finished floor levels above design flood level
- •Development setback requirements from Mary River and tributary waterways
- •Potential requirement for flood impact assessment and mitigation measures for new development
