Flood Risk
Woodgate is a coastal locality in the Fraser Coast region of Queensland, situated near the Mary River catchment. While not directly on a major flood-prone waterway, properties in some areas may fall within council flood overlays derived from Mary River flood studies; however, the township's position and elevation generally present low to moderate flood risk. Applicants should verify individual property flood mapping with Fraser Coast Regional Council.
Planning Controls
- •Compliance with Queensland Development Code (QDC) if within mapped flood overlay
- •Finished floor level requirements typically 0.5–1.0 m above design flood level where overlay applies
- •Building design and site works to accommodate flood water passage and minimise structural damage
- •Assessment against Regional Plan and local planning scheme flood-related provisions
