Flood Risk
Norman Gardens is located within the Brisbane River catchment on the western outskirts of the Brisbane metropolitan area and is subject to the Brisbane River 1% AEP flood overlay. While elevated compared to inner-city suburbs, the locality experiences moderate flood risk from Brisbane River inundation during major events, as evidenced by historical flood studies. Properties in this area are typically required to meet strict planning controls and finished floor level requirements to manage flood exposure.
Planning Controls
- •Development must comply with Brisbane River flood study requirements and finished floor levels above the 1% AEP flood level
- •Mandatory flood impact assessment for new development in the overlay area
- •Restrictions on fill material and basement development in flood-prone areas
- •Requirement for compatible land uses and wet-proofing/flood-resilient design measures
