Local stormwater and creek-based flooding remains a consideration for properties near minor watercourses, but the suburb is not identified as a historically significant flood-risk area.
Planning Controls
- •Brisbane River 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood overlay may apply to lower-lying properties near watercourses
- •Compliance with Queensland Development Code (QDC) minimum floor level requirements for flood-affected land
- •Stormwater management and on-site detention requirements under local planning scheme

Proximity to the Brisbane Metro corridor and nearby commercial precincts (Brookside) is driving medium-density residential and mixed-use development interest, though activity remains conservative compared to major urban renewal precincts.
