Flood zone
Brisbane River catchment - Local Waterways (Karamay Creek, Moreton Bay tidal influences)
Russell Island, located in Moreton Bay east of Brisbane, faces high flood risk due to its low-lying island topography, exposure to tidal inundation, storm surge, and local waterway flooding (particularly Karamay Creek). The island has been subject to Brisbane City Council or Moreton Bay Regional Council flood overlay mapping, with most developed areas likely to fall within mapped flood zones. Historical weather events and the island's coastal/estuarine setting make flood-risk planning controls a significant consideration for any property transaction or development.
Planning controls
- Flood Planning Level (FPL) requirements under Brisbane City Council or Moreton Bay Regional Council planning scheme
- Mandatory floor level controls for new development or substantial renovation in mapped flood overlay areas
- Consideration of storm surge and tidal inundation risk due to island geography and proximity to Moreton Bay
- Development assessment against acceptable solution standards for flood-affected land
