You can request flooding information for your property from Council if your property is located within a flood study or management plan adopted by Council. Refer to the section below on Flood Planning Requirements for more detail or use the information below to see if Council has flooding information on your property.
Flood information is provided for general purposes only. Council does not prepare the information; it has been supplied to Council by various third-parties at a point in time. Because the information is based on modelling, any particular flood (and the circumstances causing it) may be different to the scenarios modelled by the various studies which provided the basis for the information.
Because of the nature of the information and that it has been supplied, Council does not guarantee the information is free from error or omission. As a result, Council will not be responsible for any damage, however caused, by the provision of the information.
The information is subject to change as a result of updated flood modelling. Council is not responsible for updating the information.
Therefore Council does not warrant that the information is accurate after the day of issue. Council does not know each customer’s reasons for seeking the information. Customers are encouraged to get professional advice specific to their requirements regarding the information.
You can use the following links to determine if flooding information is available for your property before applying for a certificate:
