Western Downs flood map questions

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

Search the exact address in the free overlay map, which shows the mapped flood overlays on that property.

Which Western Downs suburbs have the most mapped flood?

By share of suburb area inside mapped flood overlays: St Ruth (99%), Tuckerang (96%), Taroom (94%), Nandi (93%), Warra (91%). These are suburb-wide shares, so streets within the same suburb can differ.
