What backs it

Gold Coast Council is releasing a searchable online hazard map identifying which properties face exposure to flooding, bushfire, landslide, and coastal hazards, with detail fine enough to show individual properties across northern beachfront suburbs including Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

Worth noting

The map is being released to build public awareness; the council stated it does not intend to drive changes in property prices or insurance premiums.
