Landslide hazard mapping
We are currently reviewing our landslide hazard exposure. The review will inform proposed updates to the landslide hazard overlay map and associated code in the City Plan to improve the city's resilience to natural hazards.
The mapping identifies properties with a potential landslide hazard risk of moderate to very high rating. The landslide hazard overlay code regulates development taking place on land with steep and unstable slopes to help protect residents and their properties.
The draft mapping is being refined following community consultation. The proposed City Plan update will be submitted to the State Government for consideration and assessment as part of Stage 3 of the project timeline (refer below for details), following hazard identification and drafting of the update.
The proposed new mapping will use updated high-resolution photography and topography, as well as consideration of geological and other factors, to give a better representation of landslide risk.
Please note the draft map is under review and is subject to change. You can subscribe to this page using the link at the bottom of the page to receive progress updates.
