Flood Risk
Franklin is an elevated inland suburb in south Canberra with no known flood overlays or major waterway exposure. While the ACT applies flood planning controls to developments near watercourses and floodplains, Franklin's topography and distance from the Murrumbidgee River and its tributaries place it in a low flood-risk category. Standard stormwater management practices apply to new development.
Planning Controls
- •ACT Planning and Development Act 2007 flood risk assessment requirements
- •Consideration of 1% AEP (100-year) flood events in development proposals
- •Stormwater management and detention basin compliance for new developments
- •Referral to ACT Emergency Services Agency for properties near watercourses
Bushfire Risk
BAL Rating
BAL-19
Franklin is a fringe-rural suburb in the ACT foothills with elevated bushfire risk due to surrounding eucalyptus woodlands, rolling topography, and proximity to the Namadgi National Park interface. Properties in this area typically fall within BAL-19, requiring upgraded construction standards. Defensible space maintenance and asset protection planning are essential given the vegetation density and slope exposure.
