About flood mapping

Council has a range of flood mapping products and flood information available. This enables our Sunshine Coast community and industry professionals to make informed decisions for emergency preparedness and land use planning purposes.

Through this mapping, council provides information to help landowners and users understand the flood risk which already exists on a property.

The flood mapping and information does not create more risk on a property. They simply provide more detailed information for a property owner to understand existing risk.

Flood risk mapping now makes it possible to view and understand the degree of flood risk for individual properties, rather than simply being aware if the property is included or excluded in a flood extent area on the Sunshine Coast.
