Scotchtown flood map and hazard check
Scotchtown · Tasmania 7330 · 132 addresses
FloodLens checks any Scotchtown address against the Tasmanian Strategic Flood Maps - modelled flood depth from 1-in-50 to 1-in-200 year floods, tested at points across the whole lot, not just the house - and the Tasmanian Planning Scheme's bushfire, landslip, coastal erosion and coastal inundation overlays. Rural lots also get land capability, soil, and pasture and crop suitability.
