Mar2011 MAPS POSTED
Preliminary flood mapping for the parts of the region have now been up-loaded to the Moreton Bay Regional Council website.Mayor Allan Sutherland said the one-in-one-hundred year flood maps were preliminary but would be progressively updated over coming months.
“What’s been uploaded onto the website is a collection of maps compiled largely from historical data collected by the former Caboolture, Redcliffe and Pine Rivers councils,” Mayor Sutherland said.
“The maps aren’t comprehensive but they will be updated as Moreton Bay Regional Council’s three year flood mapping project continues.
“I urge residents to check the website and familiarise themselves with the possible flood risks in their neighbourhood.”
Moreton Bay Regional Council is currently working on flood profiles for the region’s western districts, as well as Ningi and Bribie Island.
Improved mapping for the Burpengary catchment is nearing completion and will be added to the website once finalised with the last phase of council’s flood mapping project expected to be released by mid 2012.
Maps can be downloaded free of charge by clicking on the flood mapping icon on council’s homepage at: www.moretonbay.qld.gov.au
