Flood Risk
Mount Sheridan is an inland residential suburb in the Toowoomba Region with generally low flood risk. It is not situated within any major riverine floodplain (Lockyer Creek, Mary River, or Brisbane River systems) and sits at elevated terrain. Minor stormwater ponding during intense rainfall is possible, but properties are unlikely to be affected by the 1% AEP (100-year) flood events that trigger state-level planning overlays.
Planning Controls
- •Standard QLD planning scheme flood-related provisions apply; properties should be checked against local council flood mapping
- •Elevated inland location reduces direct riverine flood risk from major catchments
- •Stormwater management and minor overland flow considerations during extreme rainfall events
- •Council development approval process requires flood risk assessment where applicable to the site
