Torquay flood map and flood risk
Torquay, Fraser Coast Regional Council · Queensland · based on 5,504 mapped addresses
Under 1% of mapped addresses in Torquay sit inside Queensland's potential floodplain overlay (QFAO), and none of the ten mapped historic floods (1974 to 2022) reached the sampled addresses. Those maps don't cover every region. Other mapped hazards: 44% in a storm-tide area and 24.8% in a coastal erosion area. Every property differs, so check the exact address.
