Clumber planning - frequently asked

Where can I see a flood map of Clumber?

The schematic on this page is a Clumber flood map: the mapped flood overlays drawn over the suburb's terrain and street grid, covering about 4% of the suburb. Flood lines vary block to block, so for a specific property use the free interactive map - search any Clumber address and it shows the flood, zoning and bushfire mapping on the exact lot boundary.

Is Clumber flood-prone?

About 4% of Clumber falls within a mapped flood overlay, against a Scenic Rim Regional average of 19%. Looking lot by lot, 10% of the 178 properties we analysed in Clumber carry some level of mapped flood risk, including 18 rated high risk or historically affected. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Is Clumber bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 88% of Clumber is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Scenic Rim Regional average of 52%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

What is the zoning in Clumber?

The dominant planning zone in Clumber is Rural, though the suburb also includes Conservation and Limited Development. Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.

Does Clumber have heritage-listed places?

Clumber has 1 heritage-listed place on record. Heritage listing affects what you can alter or demolish, so confirm whether a specific property is listed or near a heritage place.

Is Clumber hilly or flat?

Clumber is gently undulating: the median lot slope is about 4%, and 18% of properties sit on slopes of 15% or steeper. Ground level runs from roughly 195 m to 417 m AHD across the suburb. Slope drives site costs - cut and fill, retaining walls and driveway grades - so it is worth knowing before you commit to a sloping block.

What is the typical lot size in Clumber?

Across 277 surveyed parcels in Clumber, the median lot size is about 4,051 m². There are also 6 registered easements mapped in the suburb - an easement can restrict where you can build, so always check the title and overlays for the specific lot.
