Whitsunday flood map questions
How do I check if a property in Whitsunday 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. Whitsunday Regional Council's own flood mapping and flood searches remain the official sources for planning decisions on a property.
Which Whitsunday suburbs have the most mapped flood?
By share of suburb area inside mapped flood overlays: Mandalay (87%), Proserpine (86%), Shute Harbour (76%), Kelsey Creek (72%), Flametree (68%). These are suburb-wide shares, so streets within the same suburb can differ.
How much of Whitsunday is flood mapped?
All 56 Whitsunday suburbs have some area inside mapped flood overlays.
What does the Whitsunday flood map show?
The share of each suburb's area that falls inside the flood mapping LayeredGeo holds for Whitsunday 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.
