Flood advice

Does my property flood?

Step 1: Check freely available flood mapping information via the GHCMA Flood Risk Mapping Portal

To find out if your property is located within a flood-prone area and produce a flood information property report use the online flood information portal.

Access the GHCMA Flood Portal here

PLEASE NOTE: The data available in the Flood Portal does not fully represent all climate change factors in the 1% AEP design event. This will be considered in formal responses by the CMA.

  • if your property is located near a waterway but not covered by the freely available flood mapping; or
  • you need more detailed advice around development then go to Step 2: Apply for Flood Risk Interpretation
