Flood Risk
Chisholm is a suburb in inland Canberra with no major river systems or known flood-prone catchments affecting it. While the ACT has strategic flood risk mapping along the Murrumbidgee River and other key waterways, Chisholm's elevation and distance from significant watercourses mean flood risk is generally low, though standard stormwater and detention management applies to new development.
Planning Controls
- •ACT Flood Risk Management Overlay assessment under Territory Plan
- •Consideration of local stormwater management and detention basin proximity
- •Standard fill and floor level controls for minor watercourse corridors
- •Development assessment against ACT Stormwater Management Code of Practice
