Moreton Bay Flood Hazard Overlay Drainage Investigation Areas

Moreton Bay Regional Council's planning scheme data identifies properties subject to flood hazard overlays and drainage investigation requirements. The dataset, version 1 from February 2016, supports land development assessments under the Queensland Planning Provisions. It is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GeoJSON and KML.

Use Cases

• Identify properties with flood hazard overlays to assess development constraints and permit requirements.
• Analyze drainage investigation areas to plan infrastructure and stormwater management projects.
• Cross-reference overlay maps with property boundaries to determine multi-hazard exposure for land-use planning.

Strengths

• Data is structured according to the official Queensland Planning Provisions, Schedule 2.
• Available in five interoperable formats including GeoJSON, CSV, and ArcGIS REST API.
• Maintained by the authoritative local government source, City of Moreton Bay's Data Hub.

Limitations

• The core planning scheme version is from 2016, potentially missing recent regulatory changes.
• No sample data or column schema is provided, complicating initial data exploration.
• Attribute definitions rely on external statutory documents (QPP) which must be consulted separately.
