Flood overlays for Brisbane are in our map. The per-lot answer (in or out of the overlay) is on the address report, not a suburb average.

Manly has quietly run up about 48% over two years, a suburb being actively reshaped. The typical house runs $1.79M, a notch above the Brisbane house median. That two-year jump is well ahead of the wider Brisbane market, so it is worth checking whether it has run a little hot. Distance-wise it sits roughly 16 km east of the Brisbane CBD. Flood is a per-lot question here and we hold the parcel overlay, so check the exact address rather than a suburb average. That is the read from the data, not a verdict. The only number that truly counts is the one for the exact address, so check the lot before you fall for the suburb.

Flood risk in Manly is a street-by-street question. We hold the parcel-level flood overlay for this council, so the honest answer is at the exact address, not a suburb average. Run an address to see whether a specific lot sits inside a mapped overlay.
