Nangwee planning - frequently asked

Where can I see a flood map of Nangwee?

The schematic on this page is a Nangwee flood map: the mapped flood overlays drawn over the suburb's terrain and street grid, covering about 90% of the suburb. Flood lines vary block to block, so for a specific property use the free interactive map - search any Nangwee address and it shows the flood, zoning and bushfire mapping on the exact lot boundary.

Is Nangwee flood-prone?

About 90% of Nangwee falls within a mapped flood overlay, against a Toowoomba Regional average of 13%. Looking lot by lot, 88% of the 65 properties we analysed in Nangwee carry some level of mapped flood risk, including 21 rated high risk or historically affected. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Is Nangwee bushfire-prone?

Bushfire mapping covers Nangwee and little to none of it is mapped as bushfire-prone (the Toowoomba Regional average is 20%). Always confirm for the exact lot, as mapping can change.

What is the zoning in Nangwee?

The dominant planning zone in Nangwee is Rural, though the suburb also includes Unzoned. Zoning sets what you can build and do on a site, and can differ lot by lot.

Does Nangwee have heritage-listed places?

No heritage-listed places are on record within Nangwee. Even so, it is worth confirming for an individual property before any works.

Is Nangwee hilly or flat?

Nangwee is largely flat: the median lot slope is about 0%. Ground level runs from roughly 353 m to 365 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 Nangwee?

Across 57 surveyed parcels in Nangwee, the median lot size is about 1,187,845 m². There are also 7 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.

What is the population of Nangwee?

The wider Jondaryan statistical area, which contains Nangwee, went from 7,104 people in 2001 to 7,826 in 2025, up 10%. ABS publishes no annual population series for individual suburbs, so that trend describes the surrounding area rather than Nangwee alone.

Is Nangwee an advantaged suburb?

On the ABS SEIFA 2021 index of relative socio-economic advantage and disadvantage (IRSAD), Nangwee scores 1072 and sits in decile 10 of 10 nationally and decile 10 within Queensland - decile 1 being the most disadvantaged tenth of Australian suburbs and decile 10 the least. The national average score is 1000. SEIFA summarises income, education, occupation and housing across the whole suburb, so it describes the area, not any particular household in it.

What is the median household income in Nangwee?

Median household income in Nangwee was $1,625 a week at the 2021 Census, against $1,583 for the typical suburb in Toowoomba Regional. Median rent was $125 a week and the median mortgage repayment $563 a month. These are 2021 Census figures and have not been indexed to today.
