Flood Risk
Spearwood is a southern suburb of Perth located on relatively elevated terrain with no major perennial watercourses or significant historical flood events documented in state records.

Standard WA planning compliance and local drainage design standards are the primary flood-related planning controls.
Planning Controls
- •WA Planning Commission Flood Risk Management guidelines apply to new development
- •Local authority (City of Cockburn) flood hazard assessment required for sensitive uses near drainage corridors
- •Compliance with Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) stormwater management standards
- •Site-specific flood risk study may be required if within 100m of mapped water courses or historical flood paths
