Check if a Queensland property is in a flood zone

Free, instant, by address. Based on official Queensland flood overlay mapping.

What this checks

Queensland councils map land that can flood from rivers and creeks, from storm tide near the coast, and from overland flow when heavy rain runs across the surface. This tool reads whether an address sits inside any of those mapped flood overlays and gives you a plain risk band in seconds.

Free check vs the full report

The free check gives you a quick flood and bushfire band so you know whether a property is worth a closer look. The full Property X-Ray report goes further: the exact overlay the property sits in, historical flood lines, nearby development, and the easements that quietly shrink what you can build. It is the difference between "is this worth my Saturday" and "what exactly am I buying".

Questions people ask

Is this the official flood map?
It is based on official Queensland flood overlay mapping published by councils. For a legal certificate your council also sells a formal flood report. This is a fast, free first look, not a certificate.
Does a flood zone affect insurance?
It can. Insurers price flood risk into premiums, and some properties are harder to insure, so a property in a flood overlay is worth a closer look before you commit.
Can I check any Queensland address?
Most South East Queensland addresses resolve. If yours does not, the council may not publish an overlay for that area yet, or the address needs a slightly different format.
Is it free?
Yes. The flood and bushfire band check is free with no login. The full report, with the precise overlay, flood history and easements, is the paid product.
