Coombabah: storms, floods and homes

The Coombabah Lakelands is one of only five Queensland sites listed under the Ramsar wetlands convention. The City's 2003 planning scheme left out of its priority infrastructure area the part of the Coombabah flood plain that floods deeper than 0.5 metres in a Q100 flood. A City adaptation plan responds to rising sea levels. We can share your details with a local restoration business, if you want us to.

If yours is part of a body corporate scheme, tell the committee or building manager about any water damage. The excess matters too. If a leak in your lot leads the body corporate to claim on its insurance, you, as lot owner, would normally pay it. Near the creek or wetlands, check the City’s flood maps in advance, since the City warns against relying on them during an event.

When you reach out, explain where the water started and if it has stopped. List the wet rooms, carpets and furniture. Mention if you own or rent, and if you’ve lodged a claim. If you’re happy for us to, we’ll send those details to a local restoration business near Coombabah.
