Toowoomba flood map questions

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

Which Toowoomba suburbs have the most mapped flood?

By share of suburb area inside mapped flood overlays: Condamine Plains (98%), St Ruth (97%), Norwin (88%), Brookstead (72%), Bowenville (68%). These are suburb-wide shares, so streets within the same suburb can differ.

How much of Toowoomba is flood mapped?

185 of 225 Toowoomba suburbs have some area inside mapped flood overlays, 11 have none and 29 have no flood mapping held by LayeredGeo.

What does the Toowoomba flood map show?

The share of each suburb's area that falls inside the flood mapping LayeredGeo holds for Toowoomba 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.
