If you are buying, selling, or planning to develop or renovate a property it is important that you understand if it is subject to flooding.
Developing or renovating a property
Potential flooding can affect your development plans. If you’re developing or renovating a property, we can provide you with flood level information. We can also review your development plans and advise of any amendments you may need to make if you're in a flood-prone area. This will save you time and effort if you need to apply to council for a planning or building permit.
It is important to note that a flood level certificate does not provide our consent to develop your property.
