Flood Risk
Flagstone is located within the Logan River catchment in south-west Brisbane and is subject to QLD flood overlays due to proximity to tributary waterways and the broader Logan River system. Historical flooding events in the region, including the 2011 Brisbane River/Logan River floods, indicate medium flood risk for low-lying areas. Most properties in Flagstone will be affected by QLD city council flood overlay planning controls requiring flood impact assessment and appropriate mitigation measures.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with QLD Development Code for water sensitive urban design and stormwater management
- •Mandatory flood level assessment and finished floor level requirements for new development in mapped flood-prone areas
- •Consideration of the Logan River and tributary creek flood extents in site planning and building design
