While not in a primary flood zone like those associated with major rivers, properties should be assessed against Gold Coast City Council's flood mapping and may require stormwater management measures depending on proximity to drainage corridors.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Gold Coast City Council flood overlay mapping and minimum floor level requirements
- •Stormwater management and detention basin design for local drainage catchments
- •Assessment against the Gold Coast Planning Scheme flood hazard mapping for development approval
- •Consideration of overland flow paths and local creek systems (Tallebudgera Creek, Currumbin Creek catchments)
