Flood Risk

Complete
low Risk

Smithfield Plains is a suburb in Adelaide's outer northern region with no major watercourse directly affecting it. While the area is relatively low-lying and subject to stormwater ponding during heavy rainfall events, it is not covered by a specific flood overlay under SA's planning system. Localised flooding during severe storms remains a minor risk.

Planning Controls

  • SA Development Plan flood and stormwater management provisions
  • Local Council flood risk assessment and drainage planning
  • Potential requirements for stormwater management on individual sites
  • Consideration of overland flow paths in low-lying areas
