A new Climate Council report highlights the potential long-term impacts of rising sea levels on Queensland, identifying parts of Mooloolaba, Noosa Heads, Maroochydore, Caloundra and other coastal areas as potentially vulnerable to flooding.
For property owners, this reinforces the importance of understanding local flood risks, insurance considerations and future planning.
Sunshine Coast Council says its local flood mapping differs from the report’s modelling, while ongoing planning, coastal monitoring and resilience programs aim to help prepare the region for changing conditions.
Thinking of buying, selling or renovating? Understanding the specific risks affecting a property can help you make informed decisions.

The Sunshine Coast remains a wonderful place to live. Thoughtful planning today can help protect our coastal lifestyle for generations to come.
