Wooloowin flood map and flood risk
Wooloowin, Brisbane City Council · Queensland · based on 2,840 mapped addresses
Under 1% of mapped addresses in Wooloowin 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. Brisbane City Council also maps its own flood planning areas, and the address check includes them. Every property differs, so check the exact address.
