Interactive mapping updated to include new draft Flood overlay maps

The City’s online Interactive map viewer has been updated to include flood planning levels and depth of inundation from the new draft Flood overlay maps (draft maps) recently exhibited as part of Major Update 1.

The draft maps were developed utilising the latest topographic, land use, technological, hydrological data as well as the latest State Government and Council policies. The draft maps consider future changes to climate by incorporating the following State Government mandated parameters:

• a projected increase in sea level of 0.8m above present day levels by the year 2100

• a 10% increase in storm tide intensity.

A 10% increase in rainfall intensity is also included following the advice of the city’s development industry.

The existing Flood overlay maps and draft maps identify properties potentially affected by a designated flood event (1% Annual Exceedance Probability).

For information only. A flood search report is recommended.
