Question: I plan to develop my property which is located adjacent to Brisbane City Council’s Overland Flow Flood Planning Area. As my property is not located within the Overland Flow Flood Planning Area, do I have to consider the overland flow in the area and do I have to meet therequirements of the Flood Overlay Code?
As the
property is not located within the Overland Flow Flood Planning
Area (and no other Flood Planning Areas) the Flood Overlay Code is
not required to be met. However, it should be understood that the Overland
Flow Flood Planning Area is not representative of the actual flood
prone land and is only indicative that there is an overland flow
issue in the area.
The overland flow needs to be further assessed
by a hydraulic engineer. Given that there is overland flow in the
area (although it may not be on the subject property) the
development should still be designed to meet the requirements of
the Flood Overlay Code in order to provide a safe and sustainable
development.
Search for a property of interest and find out if we have previously undertaken investigations on the property or if we have undertaken investigations on a nearby property
