Thanks for the effort! Yeah we are hoping there will be some cg rubbing off from the upmarket apartments. Apparently there are a few more blocks being built as part of the master plan. With all these high density developments, maybe a new shopping centre might be on the cards?

Winston: PMed you with more details!

Yeah the street was one of the big draws for us. Looking forward to moving in!

Thanks for all your responses everyone. Finance has been approved! I'm looking forward to moving in sometime in the near future!

brrmm: That's a very valid point. The longer I live there, the higher my chance of encountering that monster flood. We really like the area and the property (which is probably why we haven't just given up completely on the idea), and we figure insurance should make good whatever damage takes...

I am thinking that with Wivenhoe dam, we can assume that any further flooding won't go up above the roofline. It would take a monster deluge to bring back that kind of flooding. Anyway, just went to have a look at the townhouse and confirmed that all of them are built on levelled ground which...

Perp: I've had a look at home and contents with Suncorp. Not too expensive at all. Around $670 a year for classic. If Suncorp is not too bothered by the flooding issue I don't think I should be either. willair: The interactive mapping on those links you provided were quite helpful. I kind of...

The offer has been accepted, and I neglected to put in a due diligence cause.. Like I said, there is only the potential for flooding. The townhouse is relatively new, so it would have been flooded out before. With regards to the ARI, the property flood report says it is Q100+500mm but the...

Thanks for the insight willair. Good to get an opinion from someone who has seen real flooding first hand! I guess these days drainage is better developed and managed, so the danger of a repeated 1974 style flood has become less of an issue. I've sent you a PM with a few more details ;) This...

Interesting take on the situation. That's one solution!

Hi all, I've been doing a fair bit of searching, and came across this forum. Looks like a great place to get questions answered. So the wife and I (first time property buyers) put in an offer on a nice townhouse in Yeronga, but it is apparently within a flood prone area. We did not know...
