Shares are the proportion of the suburb's land area; where part of a suburb is unmapped, only its mapped land counts, so the share is a floor. Land where Landsat saw water in at least 1% of clear passes since 1987, excluding permanent water and filtered by DEA's confidence layer. Satellites miss flood peaks, so this is a floor, not a risk estimate; dense high-rise cores can still register tower shadow as water. A statutory planning-control boundary, not a flood extent, and it can lag the latest flood study. Only councils whose Local Provisions Schedule maps flood-prone areas are covered. Designated for development control; a designation, not a prediction of fire behaviour. Kingborough is still on an interim planning scheme and is shown as no statutory layer. Elevation is orthometric height from a 30 m model; no hydrology or drainage is modelled.
