This advice is related to major river flooding only. Other issues, such as stormwater drainage and environmental and ecological considerations are not addressed. This dataset comprises polygons that identify existing residential developments in a defined floodway where building controls are recommended on house extensions, redevelopment and fencing. Note: To see the full scope of the floodplain mapping, 12 dataset layers are required to be loaded in the following order: FLOODPLAIN DATASET LAYERS: FPM Flood Level Points (m AHD) FPM Flood Level Contours (m AHD) FPM 1 in 100 (1%) AEP Floodway and Flood Fringe Line FPM Extent of Flooding FPM Levee Banks FPM Location of Cross Sections FPM 1 in 100 (1%) AEP Floodplain Development Control Area FPM Map Index FPM Bridges FPM Special Development Condition Area FPM 1 in 100 (1%) AEP Floodway and Flood Fringe Area FPM Floodplain Area The dataset covers the following areas: <ul> <li> Fitzroy River – Fitzroy Crossing Townsite. </li> <li> Murray River/Peel Inlet - Ballee, Yunderup and Cooleenup Islands, Culleenup Road and Pericho Close. </li> </ul> Glossary: <ul> <li> Annual exceedance probability (AEP) - the likelihood of occurrence of a flood of a given size or larger in any one year; usually expressed as a percentage. </li> <li> 1 in 100 AEP flood - this means that there is a 1 in 100 (or 1%) chance of a flow of this size or larger occurring in any one year. This flood has a 50% chance of being experienced at least once in a person's lifetime. The 1 in 100 AEP flood has been generally adopted in Australia and overseas as the basis for floodplain management planning. </li> <li> Floodplain - the portion of a river valley next to the river channel which is covered with water when the river overflows its banks during major river flows. The term also applies to land adjacent to estuaries which is subject to flooding. </li> <li> Australian Height Datum (AHD) - is a geodetic datum for altitude measurement in Australia. It was adopted in 1971 by the National Mapping Council as the datum to which all vertical control for mapping is to be referred. The datum is based on the mean sea level (1966-1968) being assigned the value 0.000m on the Australian Height Datum (AHD) at 30 tide gauges around the coast of the Australian continent. </li> </ul> This dataset was formerly known as FPM Special Development Condition Area (DOW-039) {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[115.66682100100002, -33.35074648699998], [125.61547975000008, -33.35074648699998], [125.61547975000008, -18.160328710999977], [115.66682100100002, -18.160328710999977], [115.66682100100002, -33.35074648699998]]]} 115.66682100100002 125.61547975000008 -33.35074648699998 -18.160328710999977 DWER Flood Hazards Water FPM Special Development Condition Area documentDigital Metadata Statement: Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) TXT Geopackage documentDigital This resource provides the latest snapshot of the dataset as a GeoPackage.

GeoJSON Licence Agreement documentDigital DWER Active Acceptance Licence Agreement PDF Web Feature Service documentDigital Web Feature Service (WFS) provides an interface that allows requests for geographical features across the web using platform independent calls. WFS allows a user to download and spatially analyse the features within a datset. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as QGIS and ArcGIS. WFS ArcGIS Server Map Service documentDigital An ArcGIS Server Map Service offers access to a geographic dataset - such as a map or imagery - by providing a set of tiled images for use in web-based maps. Depending on the capabilities enabled, this web service may also allow a client to dynamically draw, search, and query its features. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as ArcGIS and QGIS. API ArcGIS Server Map Service Web Mapping Service documentDigital Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol for serving georeferenced map images over the internet that are generated by a map server using data from a GIS database. WMS allows a user to spatially visualise the dataset, and query individual features, but does not allow downloading the raw data.
