Sorell flood map and hazard check
Sorell · Tasmania 7172 · 2,733 addresses
FloodLens checks any Sorell 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.
