Badja planning - frequently asked

Is Badja flood-prone?

Snowy Monaro Regional is the authority to check for flood mapping in this area. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Is Badja bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 100% of Badja is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Snowy Monaro Regional average of 97%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

Does Badja have heritage-listed places?
