Flood zone
Coolum Creek catchment; potential local stormwater/overland flow areas
Coolum Beach is situated on the Sunshine Coast with moderate elevation above sea level and is not within a major riverine flood catchment such as the Mary River or Blackall Range streams. Primary flood risks are localised stormwater runoff, potential coastal storm surge during cyclonic events, and occasional overland flow from Coolum Creek; most residential areas sit above typical flood study extents. Coolum remains a lower-risk flood locality compared to Brisbane River, Logan River or Northern Rivers floodplains, though property-level site assessment is recommended for low-lying or creek-adjacent blocks.
Planning controls
- Assessment of overland flow paths and local drainage during wet weather events
- Consideration of storm surge and coastal inundation risk (proximity to Sunshine Coast beaches)
- Elevation requirements for habitable floor levels in identified flood-prone pockets
- Stormwater management and detention basin design for new development
