Flood Risk
Wanneroo is a northern suburb of Perth located on relatively elevated terrain with limited exposure to major river or creek flooding. While the region experiences significant stormwater management challenges due to seasonal rainfall and urban expansion, there is no known active flood overlay mapping comparable to Queensland or NSW catchment-based systems. Local drainage and groundwater management are more relevant planning considerations than riverine or coastal flood risk.
Planning Controls
- •Perth and Peel Region Scheme flood risk assessment requirements
- •City of Wanneroo Local Planning Scheme provisions for drainage and stormwater management
- •Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) groundwater and acid sulfate soil considerations
- •Bushfire hazard overlay compliance (more significant risk factor than flooding in this area)
