Flood exposure across Woolloomooloo (2011) is sourced from the NSW State Environmental Planning Policy (Resilience and Hazards) 2021 datasets and the relevant City of Sydney Council flood study. The rating reflects the likelihood and depth of flooding based on modelled rainfall events, not historical flood records alone.
A flood-risk rating on its own does not tell you whether a specific property is flood prone. It tells you about the suburb as a whole. Always request a Section 10.7 certificate from City of Sydney Council before exchange, as it will disclose any specific flood or overland flow constraints on the property title. Insurers also use postcode-level flood data when pricing premiums, so even low-risk suburbs can attract higher excess in certain streets.
