Flood Risk
Russell Island is a low-lying island in Moreton Bay subject to both riverine flooding from the Brisbane River system and coastal/tidal inundation. Historical events and the island's proximity to tidal waters and storm surge paths make it a high flood-risk locality. Properties typically require detailed flood studies and elevated construction standards under Brisbane City Council planning overlays.
Planning Controls
- •Minimum floor levels above Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) or 1% AEP plus freeboard
- •Restricted development in flood-prone areas; requirements for flood-compatible construction
- •Storm surge and tidal inundation assessment mandatory for waterfront and low-lying properties
- •Queensland Development Code (QDC) Section 3.4 mandatory for new buildings in flood-affected areas
