Nerong planning - frequently asked

Is Nerong flood-prone?

We don't yet hold flood mapping covering Nerong, so this page can't say how much of the suburb is flood-affected - that is a gap in our data, not an indication that the suburb is free of flood risk. Mid-Coast 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 Nerong bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 100% of Nerong is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Mid-Coast average of 94%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.
