Flood planning in Waverley — common questions
Is my Waverley property in a flood planning area?
Waverley has limited flood planning areas, primarily associated with overland flow paths. The hilly coastal terrain means most properties drain well, but low points in the streetscape can be affected during intense rainfall.
What flood risks exist in Waverley?
Overland stormwater flow is the main risk in Waverley. The steep topography can concentrate runoff in low-lying properties during intense rainfall events. Coastal erosion and wave overtopping are separate hazards managed under coastal hazard provisions.
Does flood status affect development in Waverley?
For the small number of properties in flood planning areas, development controls apply. Minimum floor levels and flood-compatible construction may be required. Check your address above for an indicative assessment.
