Flood Risk
Woodridge is located in the Logan River catchment, south-west of Brisbane, and has experienced flooding during major rainfall events. The City of Logan applies detailed flood overlays based on hydraulic modelling; properties in the floodplain are subject to Queensland building and planning controls that require elevated or flood-resilient construction. While not as flood-prone as areas directly on the Brisbane River, medium flood risk is appropriate for low-lying areas near the Logan River system.
Planning Controls
- •Minimum floor level requirements relative to probable maximum flood (PMF) or design flood
- •Flood-compatible development standards for fill, materials, and building design
- •Mandatory flood report/assessment for development in mapped flood extent areas
- •Restrictions on certain uses (e.g. vulnerable facilities, water-sensitive industries) in high-risk zones
