Flood Risk
Kambah is located in the southern Canberra region with moderate elevation relative to the Murrumbidgee River. While the suburb contains some properties in or near the 1% AEP (100-year) flood extent of the Murrumbidgee, most of Kambah sits above flood-prone areas. Risk is generally low to low-medium for the majority of residential properties, with specific properties in valley-floor locations warranting detailed flood studies.
Planning Controls
- •ACT Flood Risk Management Overlay assessment for properties within mapped flood extents
- •Compliance with ACT Planning and Development Act 2007 flood-risk development standards
- •Consideration of Murrumbidgee River valley floor topography and historical flood behaviour
- •Potential requirement for flood impact assessment and mitigation measures on low-lying sites
