Noosa flood map questions
How do I check if a property in Noosa 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. Noosa Shire Council's own flood mapping and flood searches remain the official sources for planning decisions on a property.
Which Noosa suburbs have the most mapped flood?
By share of suburb area inside mapped flood overlays: Boreen Point (76%), Noosaville (69%), Noosa North Shore (58%), Cooroibah (46%), Lake Macdonald (44%). These are suburb-wide shares, so streets within the same suburb can differ.
How much of Noosa is flood mapped?
26 of 27 Noosa suburbs have some area inside mapped flood overlays, 1 have none.
What does the Noosa flood map show?
The share of each suburb's area that falls inside the flood mapping LayeredGeo holds for Noosa Shire, 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.
