2    AREA COVERED BY THIS EMERGENCY PLAN
The subject site is Makepeace Island, Tewantin, Queensland, and is described as Lot 55 on MCH1667.
It is proposed to use the existing site facilities as a private resort.
An Advanced Flood Search for the property was undertaken through Sunshine Coast Regional Council
Shire Council provides the following flood information (refer Appendix D and H):
         Potential Maximum Flood Level ­ 4.43m AHD
         Calculated 1 in 100 Year Flood Level – 2.26m AHD
         Calculated 1 in 2 Year Flood Level – 1.30m AHD
Based on available mapping and survey data we understand that the developed area of the subject site
has surface levels typically of RL0.75 to RL1.5 MAHD.

3    HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS;
Identify Risks to People and Property
Makepeace Island will be significantly affected by flood waters at levels much lower than the
surrounding communities adjacent to the Noosa River.
Evacuation routes will vary depending on the height of rising water and rate of rise.
Potential loss of life and property may occur if attempting to traverse flood waters.
Building, fixtures and fittings and any remaining equipment may be subject to inundation and require
cleaning, inspections, repairing or replacement.
Identify Risks to the Environment
Litter, Debris, Garbage, Drums and Floatable Items have the potential to be transported and pollute the
waterways following inundation by flood waters.
