How common is mapped flood risk across Mutdapilly properties?
Counts of properties, not share of land, across 66 analysed Mutdapilly properties; no individual property result is identified.

Flood-risk rating across all 66 properties
From LayeredGeo's lot-risk engine: council flood overlays, historical flooding and terrain, resolved to each individual lot in Mutdapilly.
Has Mutdapilly flooded? Flood history and overland flow
Yes. Recorded flood mapping reaches into Mutdapilly: 38 of the 66 properties we analysed (57.6%) sit at least partly inside a mapped historical flood extent (Historic Flood 2011: 38). The free address check says whether a given lot is inside one.
Suburb-wide totals across 66 analysed properties; they do not identify or describe any individual property.

Aircraft noise and flight paths over Mutdapilly
The ANEF contour is a published planning forecast and observed overflight is what a sampled tracking feed recorded - neither describes any individual property.
Inside an aircraft noise contour
33% of the suburb's land sits inside a published ANEF or airport-environs contour. Contours vary street by street, so whether a particular lot is inside one needs a property-level check.
Highest contour present
Under AS 2021, land between ANEF 20 and 25 is conditionally acceptable for houses, usually with noise attenuation built in. The contour is a forecast, not a measurement at any one house.
Contours held
- Defence Airfields ANEF
Observed overflight - sampled 4 Sep to 7 Nov 2026
typical observed square 0 a day
Night movements: observed, lowest 7,500 ft - night is sampled as often as day, but night traffic is light, so this is a floor and no rate can be put on it.
How this is measured
Traffic is sampled rather than watched continuously, so every figure is a floor: aircraft not captured between samples are not represented. Rates are per 500 m square - the busiest square in the suburb, not a count of flights over the suburb - and a square is only rated where enough traffic was seen to measure it. Altitudes are above mean sea level. Flight paths change with runway use, weather, season and airspace design. This is a record of observed traffic; it is not a noise contour and not a planning control.

Across the suburb, 77% of the 66 properties we analysed carry some level of mapped flood risk, including 47 rated high risk or historically affected. Published flood models are held over parts of Mutdapilly; the free check on the Flood Model Report page says whether one reaches a given address.
Has Mutdapilly flooded?
Yes. Recorded flood mapping reaches into Mutdapilly: 38 of the 66 properties we analysed (57.6%) sit at least partly inside a mapped historical flood extent (Historic Flood 2011: 38). The free address check says whether a given lot is inside one.
Is Mutdapilly bushfire-prone?
Around 36% of Mutdapilly is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Ipswich City average of 50%.
Is Mutdapilly affected by aircraft noise?
About 33% of Mutdapilly sits inside a published aircraft noise contour, and the highest contour present is ANEF 15 - under AS 2021, land between ANEF 20 and 25 is conditionally acceptable for houses, usually with noise attenuation in the build. ANEF contours are forecasts published per airport and used to control noise-sensitive development; they are not a measurement at any one house, and a property can sit under a flight path and outside every contour.

The lowest measured aircraft was at 500 ft, with an average of 4,000 ft. At the busiest point in the suburb about 1 aircraft a day were recorded passing over one 500 m square. Traffic is sampled rather than watched continuously and flight paths change with runway use, weather and season; the ANEF contour is the planning instrument.
