Across its 66.42 km², Ramsay is highly constrained by planning overlays. Flood mapping covers the suburb and none of it falls within a mapped flood overlay, and 60% is flagged bushfire-prone. The dominant land-use zone is Rural. The terrain is hilly, and the median lot measures about 165,001 m² across 172 parcels. These figures are suburb-wide - the overlays that actually apply to a given lot can differ block to block, which is what a property-level check tells you.

Ramsay planning - frequently asked

Where can I see a flood map of Ramsay?

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

Is Ramsay flood-prone?

Flood mapping covers Ramsay and none of the suburb falls within a mapped flood overlay (the Toowoomba Regional average is 13%). Looking lot by lot, 0% of the 174 properties we analysed in Ramsay carry some level of mapped flood risk. Flood overlays vary block to block, so whether a particular lot is affected needs a property-level check.

Is Ramsay bushfire-prone?

Yes - around 60% of Ramsay is mapped as bushfire-prone, compared with a Toowoomba Regional average of 20%. A bushfire-prone designation can trigger additional building requirements, so check the specific address.

What is the zoning in Ramsay?

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

Does Ramsay have heritage-listed places?

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

Is Ramsay hilly or flat?

Ramsay is hilly: the median lot slope is about 11%, and 31% of properties sit on slopes of 15% or steeper. Ground level runs from roughly 433 m to 716 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 Ramsay?

Across 172 surveyed parcels in Ramsay, the median lot size is about 165,001 m². There are also 39 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 Ramsay?

The wider Clifton - Greenmount statistical area, which contains Ramsay, went from 3,760 people in 2001 to 5,433 in 2025, up 44%.

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 Ramsay?
