Flood zone? Development potential?

Hi all

In the past I have tended to avoid buying properties that are in a flood zone. However, I came across this clause in a contract that I am looking at and am worried it will affect my ability to build a granny flat/ subdivide in the future.

part 7a - flood related development controls information

It does not mention anything about 1:100 floods or similar.

You have to implement flood related control measures to make the property less likely to be affected by flood waters - it repeats the words several times. Ask your building designer/town planner etc as to how you can meet these requirements? eg: Do you have to build a Queenslander style building ie raised above the 1:100 flood level?
 
Looks like it's subject to overland flooding. Even if I an get a DA I can only build a max 40m2 granny flat with this council.

Would it be hard to develop in the future due to this clause ?

The numbers are ok for a buy and hold
