Modifications. The licences above require us to say whether we changed the material, and we have. FloodLens does not reproduce these datasets as published. Geometries are reprojected to EPSG:4326, indexed, and queried at a single point or parcel; only the records matching your location are returned. Some figures shown are derived by FloodLens and are not part of the original datasets — in particular the share of a cadastral lot intersecting flood mapping, the physical-hazard screen and its score, and, for Tasmania, the three-state modelled/not-modelled resolution and the suppression of modelled depths that fall inside a mapped watercourse. Where a dataset is not loaded for an area, FloodLens reports that as missing data rather than as an absence of hazard. No custodian has reviewed or endorsed any of this.
Queensland Government data is © The State of Queensland, reused under CC BY 4.0. Tasmanian data is ©State of Tasmania, reused under CC BY 3.0 AU. FloodLens is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the State of Queensland, the State of Tasmania, or any data custodian, and nothing here suggests any of them endorses FloodLens or your use of it. Dataset currency dates vary (e.g. QFAO flood mapping is 2012) - see the in-app data coverage notes.
This product is not official government advice. All data is indicative only. Each dataset above is provided by its licensor as-is and without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the extent possible under the applicable licence — see the disclaimer in the linked licence text.
Automated NBN lookups, crime context, sewage-facility proximity and reproduction of QBCC pool-register records are disabled pending a supported integration, reproducible official source, or documented commercial reuse authority.
