Flood mapping

For current flood events

For current flood events, check the Bureau of Meteorology website and the relevant local government disaster dashboard.

For property level flood mapping and data we strongly recommend you contact the relevant local council.

Local government flood maps and data

Most local government areas provide flood risk and zoning information online, often in reports or interactive maps. Access a list of Queensland local government web pages with published flood maps, flood data and flood resources.

FloodCheck Queensland application

If your local government does not have flood information online, you can use Floodcheck. The interactive map provides access to flood study extents and information to improve understanding of flood behaviour at a regional scale.

Flood study and mapping reference guides

The Queensland Government has produced a flood mapping implementation kit to assist local councils and disaster management groups to use flood mapping products to improve their disaster management and land use planning, and a guide for flood studies and mapping in Queensland to promote a consistent approach to flood studies and mapping throughout the state.
