Flood Risk

Flood risk is considered low, though localised drainage issues during intense rainfall events remain a standard planning consideration for all Brisbane developments.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Brisbane City Council Development Assessment Rules regarding floor level requirements in flood-prone areas
- •Standard QLD Building Code requirements for stormwater management and drainage design
- •Council referral procedures for development in areas with mapped watercourse corridors
- •Consideration of overland flow paths and local drainage constraints in site planning
