Moreton Bay Coastal Storm Tide Hazard Overlay Map

Moreton Bay Regional Council's Coastal Hazard (Storm Tide Inundation) Overlay is a statutory planning scheme map regulating land use and development. The dataset defines areas subject to coastal flooding hazards from storm tide events. It replaces three former council planning schemes and is provided in multiple geospatial formats.

Use Cases

• Identify properties affected by the Coastal Hazard Overlay to assess development permit requirements for land subject to storm tide inundation.
• Analyze spatial overlap of the storm tide hazard overlay with other planning scheme zones and overlays for multi-hazard risk assessment.
• Integrate overlay boundaries with property parcel data to model exposure and vulnerability to coastal flooding risks.

Strengths

• Official statutory document from the Moreton Bay Regional Council, providing regulatory authority for land use planning.
• Data available in multiple interoperable geospatial formats including GeoJSON, KML, and ArcGIS REST API.
• Includes detailed attribute fields defined per the Queensland Planning Provisions (QPP) standard.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column names, and sample data are unavailable, limiting pre-analysis assessment of structure and volume.
• The core planning scheme version dates to June 2016, though metadata was updated in 2026, potentially reflecting administrative rather than content changes.
• Geographic scope is limited to the Moreton Bay Region, not applicable for broader Queensland or national coastal hazard analysis.
