Flood planning in Campbelltown — common questions
What flood zones exist in Campbelltown?
Campbelltown has ARI-quantified flood data covering 0.2% AEP (1-in-500-year) through PMF (Probable Maximum Flood). The 1% AEP (1-in-100-year) zone is the primary planning standard under the Campbelltown LEP. Properties in the 1% AEP zone are in the Flood Planning Area and face development controls.
Does flood risk affect granny flat eligibility in Campbelltown?
Yes. Under SEPP Housing 2021, a property on a flood control lot is ineligible for complying development (CDC). If your Campbelltown address is in the 1% AEP flood zone, a granny flat requires a DA with a flood risk management report.
What is a Flood Planning Area in NSW?
A Flood Planning Area (FPA) is a zone defined in a council's LEP where development controls apply due to flood risk. Being in an FPA does not automatically prohibit development — it triggers additional assessment requirements, including a flood risk management report for certain development types.
Does flood risk affect property insurance in Campbelltown?
Yes. Properties in Campbelltown's flood planning areas typically face higher building and contents insurance premiums. Some insurers apply flood exclusions for high-risk AEP zones.
