Bournda planning - frequently asked

Is Bournda flood-prone?

Bega Valley 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 Bournda bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 100% of Bournda is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Bega Valley average of 95%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
