Looking lot by lot, 40% of the 3,127 properties we analysed in Currimundi carry some level of mapped flood risk, including 150 rated high risk or historically affected.

Is Currimundi bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 9% of Currimundi is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Sunshine Coast Regional average of 38%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

Is Currimundi hilly or flat?

Currimundi is largely flat: the median lot slope is about 2%. Ground level runs from roughly 3 m to 19 m AHD across the suburb. Slope drives site costs - cut and fill, retaining walls and driveway grades - so it is worth knowing before you commit to a sloping block.

What is the typical lot size in Currimundi?

Across 3,112 surveyed parcels in Currimundi, the median lot size is about 594 m². There are also 208 registered easements mapped in the suburb - an easement can restrict where you can build, so always check the title and overlays for the specific lot.
