Survey Brisbane
What is a Flood Level Survey?
A flood level survey determines your property’s elevation relative to the Australian Height Datum (AHD) and establishes Q100 flood levels required by local authorities. This survey provides essential data for minimum floor levels, flood risk assessment, and council development applications in flood-prone areas. To determine this level, we survey the topography of your land and analyse the catchment volume to establish the Q100 level relative to AHD.
Why Choose Surveyors Brisbane?
With extensive experience in Brisbane’s flood zones, we understand the complex requirements for flood assessment surveys. Our team specialises in providing detailed survey data that meets both engineering and council requirements. We’re sensitive to the challenges faced by flood-affected property owners and deliver prompt, professional service to avoid delays in your building or renovation process.
Why Do I Need a Flood Level Survey?
Flood level surveys are essential for several reasons:
- Required for development applications in flood zones
- Necessary for engineer’s flood assessments
- Determining minimum floor levels for new buildings
- Planning house raising projects
- Understanding overland flow impacts
- Meeting council flood overlay requirements
- Supporting flood recovery grant applications
- Compliance with council height provisions
Council regulations require flood assessments supported by professional survey data for building in flood-prone areas. Getting your flood level survey done early helps avoid delays in the development application process and ensures your building designer has the necessary information for compliant designs.
