Remove the High Flow Area Overlay from TLPI 1/24
Principal petitioner: Ben Parkinson
Closing date: 30 May 2025
Petitions express the views of the Principal petitioner and may not represent the views of Council.
The high flow area overlay is not risk based, overrides flood hazard overlays and places excessive restrictions on land. Any property owner in a high flow area is unable to build any structure whether habitable or non habitable. It also precludes a number of other land uses.
Action required in response to this issue:
Remove the High Flow Area Overlay from TLPI 1/24 as it is not a Flood Hazard Overlay. Use the risk based flood hazard overlays, which will allow appropriately engineered structures.
