Flood

Does Pimpama flood? It's a street-by-street question.

A suburb-wide flood figure hides the only answer that matters: whether the specific lot you are looking at sits inside a mapped overlay.

Where we're straight with you
We hold the parcel-level flood overlay here.

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

What this tells you, and what it doesn't

A high owner-occupier share, paired with a professional resident base, is a demand signal: people buy here to live, not to flip. It says nothing about the specific street or block. The per-address report puts these residents next to the exact lot, its zoning and what is being built nearby.
