NCCMA Internet - Floodlevel Advice

Flood advice for a specific property in the north central region can be obtained from the North Central Catchment Management Authority (CMA).

Flood advice helps landowners to understand their risks and is useful for:

People looking to buy or rent a property;
Property owners looking to renovate their house or build an extension;
Developers looking to subdivide a property; and
Farmers looking to undertake works on their property or develop a whole farm plan.

Generally most works within a defined flood prone area require a planning permit from the local Council. Council will refer these development proposals to the North Central CMA for advice and/or its approval.

The North Central CMA encourages landowners/developers to obtain flood level advice early so that any development proposal identifies and mitigates potential risks associated with flooding.

How to apply?

To obtain specific flood advice an application form and accompanying map which accurately identifies the property must be completed and submitted to the North Central CMA.
