Flood planning in Ku-ring-gai — common questions
Is my Ku-ring-gai property in a flood planning area?
Some Ku-ring-gai properties are in flood planning areas, particularly near creek lines and in lower-lying areas of Gordon, Pymble, and Wahroonga. The steep terrain can create flash flood risk along creek corridors.
What flood risks exist in Ku-ring-gai?
Creek flooding from Lane Cove River tributaries, Middle Harbour tributaries, and local overland flow are the main risks. The steep terrain means water moves quickly during heavy rain, creating flash flood risk in valley areas.
Does flood risk overlap with bushfire in Ku-ring-gai?
In some areas, yes. Creek corridors can be both flood-affected and bordered by bushfire-prone vegetation. Properties with dual constraints face additional development assessment requirements.
