Flood Risk
Lowood is located in the Lockyer Creek catchment and experienced severe flooding during major events (notably 2011, 2013). The area is subject to Queensland's flood overlay controls based on detailed flood studies mapping the 1% AEP and probable maximum flood (PMF) extents. Properties in Lowood typically require careful assessment against these overlays, with elevated floor levels and appropriate building design mandatory for development in affected areas.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Lockyer Creek flood levels and extent mapping (1% AEP and PMF)
- •Minimum floor level requirements relative to design flood event
- •Restrictions on fill and earthworks in flood-prone areas
- •Development setbacks and design standards for structures in flood zones
