Flood Information Certificate

Flood Information Certificate cost - $192

A flood information certificate can tell you about:

  • Flood risks.
  • How high you should build.
  • What level a flood may get to.

You can request flooding information from us if the property is within a flood model catchment.

  1. Use our online mapping tool to find out if there is any flood information for your property.  
  2. Use the online form to apply for your certificate.

If your property is not within a flood model catchment displayed on the map, we do not have an adopted flood study for that area. For example, for areas that fall outside of the Belongil Creek, Tallow Creek, North Byron and Marshalls Creek catchments.

If a flood information certificate is not available for your property, you may have to contact an engineer experienced in flooding to find out about the flood risks for your property. 

For more information contact a Development Support Officer 02 6626 7025 

Council does not know each customer’s reasons for seeking the information. Customers are encouraged to obtain professional advice specific to their requirements regarding the information.

This certificate does not provide certification to satisfy Exempt and Complying Development requirements. If your property is within a flood model catchment, you can apply to Council for a certification that the property is not within a flood storage area, a floodway, a flow path, a high hazard area, or a high-risk area using Council’s Development Related advice form.
