Flood Risk
Kaleen is located in inland north Canberra at moderate elevation relative to the Murrumbidgee River, which is the primary flood source for the ACT region. While the suburb falls within broader flood study coverage areas, it is not in a primary flood-prone zone and experiences low flood risk. Properties in outer areas of Kaleen may require flood risk assessment during development, but the majority of the suburb is considered low-risk due to topography and distance from major watercourses.
Planning Controls
- •ACT Planning and Land Authority (ACTPLA) flood risk assessment requirements for properties within defined flood study extents
- •Minimum floor level requirements relative to probable maximum flood (PMF) or design flood event
- •Notification of flood risk on property titles and development approval conditions
