            AMENDMENT TO PLANNING SCHEME FLOOD MAPPING
            Noosa Council intends to amend its planning scheme including changes to the flood hazard overlay mapping. These
            proposed amendments may affect the subject site. The proposed amendments are available online and at Council’s
            Chambers, 9 Pelican St Tewantin.

            CLIMATE CHANGE

            The advice provided in this certificate is based upon standards relating to current climatic conditions, historically recorded
            flood events and the predicted 1 % AEP under 2100 climate change conditions. Please be aware, the current standards
            do not include full 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) 800mm 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, Aged Residential Care Facility 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.
            8.    Please be aware that the reported flood information may vary in the future as new data becomes available.
