Ipswich flood map questions

How do I check if a property in Ipswich is in a flood zone?

Search the exact address in the free overlay map, which shows the mapped flood overlays on that property. The suburb shading on this page is a suburb-wide share and does not tell you about a single lot. Ipswich City Council's own flood mapping and flood searches remain the official sources for planning decisions on a property.

Which Ipswich suburbs have the most mapped flood?

By share of suburb area inside mapped flood overlays: Basin Pocket (100%), Moores Pocket (100%), North Booval (100%), One Mile (99%), East Ipswich (94%). These are suburb-wide shares, so streets within the same suburb can differ.

How much of Ipswich is flood mapped?

80 of 82 Ipswich suburbs have some area inside mapped flood overlays, 2 have no flood mapping held by LayeredGeo.

What does the Ipswich flood map show?

The share of each suburb's area that falls inside the flood mapping LayeredGeo holds for Ipswich City, shaded in five bands from none to 60% or more. It is a planning-mapping measure, not a prediction of how often a property floods.
