Know your Flood Risk

Community members and applicants are able to access flood risk information about their property by either:

• Lodging a development proposal, making a Flood Enquiry Application; or
• Applying for a Planning Certificate.

Making a Flood Enquiry Application

For detailed flood information, required by Council for planning and development applications, please submit a Flood Enquiry Application.

This process can be undertaken by going to Council’s Online Service Request page, then following 3 steps below:

1. Click on 'Lodge an application' tile: 
   
2. In the page that opens click on the Development tab
   
3. Find the Flooding Application check boxes and choose the application most appropriate for your situation. NB: Charges may apply. 
   

Planning Certificate

You can apply by visiting the Planning Certificate page (otherwise known as a Section 10.7 certificate). This certificate provides a range of planning information applicable to the property, potentially including planning controls relating to flooding.
