Shading is the share of each suburb's area inside mapped overlays. It compares suburbs; whether one property is affected depends on where it sits, so check the exact address.

Sunshine Coast flood map questions

How do I check if a property in Sunshine Coast 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. Sunshine Coast Regional Council's own flood mapping and flood searches remain the official sources for planning decisions on a property.

Which Sunshine Coast suburbs have the most mapped flood?

By share of suburb area inside mapped flood overlays: Pacific Paradise (97%), Marcoola (96%), Mudjimba (94%), Twin Waters (94%), Birtinya (86%). These are suburb-wide shares, so streets within the same suburb can differ.

How much of Sunshine Coast is flood mapped?

114 of 119 Sunshine Coast suburbs have some area inside mapped flood overlays, 1 have none and 4 have no flood mapping held by LayeredGeo.

What does the Sunshine Coast flood map show?

The share of each suburb's area that falls inside the flood mapping LayeredGeo holds for Sunshine Coast Regional, 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.
