Flood Risk
Golden Grove is an elevated inland suburb in Adelaide's northern growth corridor with no major river or creek overlay designation. Historical flood events in SA have primarily affected lower-lying areas along the Adelaide and Onkaparinga rivers, and the Torrens River catchment; Golden Grove sits well above these flood-prone zones. Local stormwater management is the primary consideration for new development, with minimal evidence of riverine or coastal flood risk.
Planning Controls
- •SA Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) – Council may require site-specific assessment for new development
- •Land division and building setback requirements relative to waterways and drainage corridors
- •Stormwater management and detention basin design standards per SA EPA guidelines
- •Council discretion to require flood-proofing or fill for properties near minor watercourses
