MCU14/0045 & OPW14/0268: Appendix G - Flood Information Certificate - Cer14.0872

CLIMATE CHANGE
The advice provided in this certificate is based upon standards relating to current climatic conditions and historically recorded
flood events only. Please be aware, the current standards do not include allowances for future climate change projections in
our region. These projections include but are not limited to; increased rainfall intensity, higher mean sea level and more
extreme weather conditions (e.g. storm surge and tropical cyclones).

NOTES FOR FLOOD INFORMATION
1.    The absence of Highest Historical Flood Level information does not imply that the above property is not subject to
      flooding, simply that Council has no record of this property flooding. Applicants are encouraged to make their own local
      enquiries.
2.    In accordance the self-assessable (detached) house code, the MINIMUM FLOOR LEVEL is calculated as whichever is
      greater of either:
       (a) 500mm freeboard added to the Defined Flood Level for the site; or
       (b) 500mm freeboard added to the Defined Flood Level for the site if the property is located in the Noosa River
           catchment only in accordance with the Noosa River Flood Study; or
       (c) 500mm freeboard added to the Highest Historical Flood Level appropriate to the site; or
       (d) If the property is intended for use as a Hospital or Emergency Services Facility then the Council should be
           contacted to determine this level.
3.    Council advises that if stormwater drainage pipelines/easements exist on the property then no earthworks or building are
      permitted in the easement.
4.    All buildings shall conform to the relevant Planning Scheme Code in The Noosa Plan.
5.    Please be aware of the natural topography in your area. Water runoff which exceeds the capacity of the underground
      drainage system (if present) and which concentrates in surface depressions and gullies as it flows down a catchment
      can cause localised flooding and is not identified in this certificate.
6.    Filling must not cause actionable nuisance in accordance with Queensland Urban Drainage Manual.
7.    Council advises that if there are openings to basements these openings require a minimum level at least equal to the
      minimum floor level.
